In this “Going Green,” Rich Segal speaks with Julie Mazur, planner for CAMPO, about a program called Commute Solutions.

The new program offers people the chance to learn new ways to reach their destination through the use of carpools, buses and trains, vanpools, bicycles, teleworking and walking.

Commutesolutions.com shows a better way to travel within the city, especially for those people who don't like to drive alone. Logging on allows you to enter various types of information, including when and where you travel, the amount of gas you use—details that allow you to calculate the expense you have when driving alone.

It also allows walkers and runners to calculate calories burned.
