Clean Commute Week is an effort by the City of Durango to encourage a shift in the way Durango citizens think about transportation. The goal is to promote the use of alternative modes of transportation to benefit people’s health, the health of our community and the environment.
By promoting bicycling, walking, carpooling, and public transportation as environmentally responsible and practical options, the City of Durango hopes to excite people about the benefits of clean commuting and get them to take a break from their single occupancy vehicles. They hope that through these events, people will learn that commuting cleanly can be easy, cost effective, and fun. Check out this Week of Fun Events!
