Why is it a good idea not to drive to the game?
There are other reasons to leave the car behind when you head to the Rockies game beyond saving money and reducing stress. The more we can all ride a bus, train or bike or get places on foot, the less pollution enters our air. This can make a difference at a time when we need to clean up our air in Colorado. Traveling by public transit is also ten times safer per mile than traveling by car. By giving Coloradans more choices for getting around, we can save money and cut air pollution at the same time.
