I live in an suburban community and ride my bike, bus, walk to services, but I work at a rural school that is literally inaccessable to me except by my car. The staff at our school is trying everything (commuting by horse) but especially car pooling to get to work. My husband and I are preparing to give up our home of the last 20 years in the community where we raised our family so we can relocate closer to our workplaces. This major impact on our personal lives is created by our need to be part of the solution.
