Get there, Greener with the ENC and OCTA

Gas prices are soaring in Orange County and the ENC is just as fed up with paying over $4 for a gallon of gas as you are! Guess what? Alternatives do exist and the ENC is partnering with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to bring them directly to you.

On Thursday, March 1 at 6 p.m., the ENC will host its “Getting there, Greener” program, alongside OCTA representatives, in an effort to get people out of their cars and onto a bus, train, bicycle, or into a ridesharing program.

Come by the ENC to find out how easy, inexpensive, and eco-friendly riding the bus actually is! Everyone attending the program will learn the bus-riding basics – how to ride, reading a schedule, riding tips, using the bike rack, as well as safety and security.

Another perk offered to all attendees will be a free promotional one-day bus pass, courtesy of the OCTA, for everyone that completes a simple survey.

So beat the gas-pump-blues and ride in eco-friendly style with the ENC and OCTA, you’ll be doing your part to preserve the environment and might even make new friends along the way!
