A daily commute can be physically stressful, but many people find their daily trek to work financially taxing as well. Commuting costs have risen considerably over the last decade-plus, as higher fuel costs have eaten into many household budgets. But commuters accus- tomed to grinning and bear- ing it with regard to their dai- ly grind might be surprised to learn that there are some ways they can cut their com- muting costs and possibly even reduce some of the physical stress stemming from their daily odysseys to and from the office. The fol- lowing are a handful of ways to trim the costs of your daily commute. s %STABLISH A RIDESHARING PROGRAM AT YOUR office. Research from the Center for Trans- portation at the Washington Policy Center in Seattle has shown that carpooling to work can be as much as 61 percent cheaper than driving alone. Many highways feature com- muter lanes that are exclusive to vehicles with two or more passengers. Veteran com- muters know that such lanes tend to be the least congested lanes on the highway, so taking advantage of the commuter lane by sharing rides with one or more coworkers can save time as well as money. The bene- fits of ridesharing are numerous, and include saving money on fuel (sharing driving duties with just a single coworker immediately cuts your commuter fuel costs in half); extends the life of your vehicle by reducing daily wear and tear; and also allows you one or two days a week to unwind during your commute while someone else takes the wheel. s 2IDE A BIKE !DMITTEDLY MEN AND WOMEN who aren't entirely healthy or those who live especially far away from the office or in re- gions where the weather is often unpleasant may not be able to turn their bicycles into tools for cutting the costs associated with their commutes. But riding a bicycle to the office each day will cut your commute-related fuel costs by 100 percent while also providing a boost to your cardiovascular system. Reg- ular cardiovascular exercise has been shown to reduce risk a person's for various condi- tions, including heart disease, while also re- ducing stress. Even riding a bike to the office twice a week can cut your commute-related fuel costs by 40 percent, so if cycling to work is a realistic possibility for you, give it a try. s 0ROPOSE THE IDEA OF TELECOMMUTING TO YOUR employer. Many employers have grown more lax with regard to employees working from home. Some employers recognize that less strict telecommuting policies make for happi- er and more loyal employees, who can dras- tically reduce their childcare costs in addition to commuting costs by working from home. In addition, employers can benefit by mov- ing into smaller offices with more affordable rents. Telecommuting one or two days a week can save you a substantial amount of money, so propose the idea to your employer, even suggesting a trial period to see if it's a viable option before either side makes a full com- mitment. s #HANGE YOUR HOURS 4ECHNOLOGY HAS MADE it easier than ever before for companies to abandon the typical 9-to-5 workday. Employ- ees can now connect to company networks via external server connections at any time of day and even contact one another via email applications on their smartphones regardless of the time of day. Flex time, in which employ- ees are allowed to work flexible schedules so long as their work is getting done, enables employees to commute to and from the office during off-peak hours when roads are less congested than they are during rush hour. This saves you the time you spend sitting in rush hour traffic while also cutting back on fuel consumption that only increases the more your car sits idling in traffic. Commuting costs are on the rise, but there are numerous creative ways for working men and women to cut these costs. ~Provided by Metro Editorial How To Cut Your Commuting Costs AUTOS-TRUCKS AUTOS-TRUCKS AUTOS-TRUCKS 386 Withrow Road Forest City, NC 28043 "OUIPOZ)BVMLtIBVMLBVUPNPUJWF!ZBIPPDPN 828-429-9077 ©Community First Media Over 20 Years Experience Tune-Ups Major Repairs Brake Service Computer Diagnostics Monday-Friday 8:00AM-5:30PM Monday-Friday 8am-6pm Saturday 8am-3pm 828-245-1626 2DN6W)RUHVW&LW\ 2Q3DUWV1RZ Through 6/7/14 ©Community First Media 6LVN)RUGZRXOG OLNHWRZHOFRPH Jon Stott WRRXUVWDII -RQ6WRWW3DUWV0DQDJHU *LYH-RQD FDOOWRGD\ IRUDOO\RXU SDUWQHHGV 828-245-1626 5 % OFF $7:::6,6.)25'&20
