The American Public Transportation Association has put together a green guide to vacation travel –

When you ‘Go Green’ on public transportation, there’s no need to worry about hassling with the expense of driving and parking your own car, or paying for a rental car or the expense of numerous cab rides around the city.

This guide will help you tour green by providing information on:

  • Day and visitor passes for the public transportation systems across the country.
  • Links to trip planners, transit maps and directions for the top ten American city destinations with established transit systems.
  • Highlights of upcoming city events accessible by public transit for summer activities in these ten large cities.
  • APTA’s Green Travel Forecast will give you a snapshot of what travelers like you had to say about using public transportation to get around large cities.

 

By touring via public transportation, it will be greener for the environment while you can keep more green in your wallet! This summer, take public transportation to hit all the major tourist attractions and the not so obvious ones during your city visit.
