The book is commonly recognized as a fable and a story Dr Seuss was able to create addressing economic and environmental issues without it being dull. “The Lorax,†he once explained, “came out of me being angry. In The Lorax I was out to attack what I think are evil things and let the chips fall where they might.â€

Here’s what you need to know to get going and have a car-free and carefree day:
Learn about your options.
Some employers, co-working spaces, and schools offer transportation benefits. Ask around about resources at your employer, co-working space, or school!
Allow for some flexibility in your schedule.
Give yourself a few extra minutes so you don’t have to worry about being late.
Map your route in advance.
Use Google Maps or the other recommended apps on smgov.net/gosamo to find out the best way to get to where you’re going car-free.
Make sure your TAP card is ready and loaded.
Pick up a TAP card at a nearby Expo station or the Big Blue Bus Transit Store to access all the trains, buses, and even bikes.
Try it out with a buddy.
Ask around the office to see if anyone wants to meet at a local Expo station or ask an apartment mate to take transit together to school or work.
