Time out, let’s get serious. Do you have an Emergency Commute Plan in place? If the answer is No or you’re shrugging your shoulders because you’re confused, take a minute and keep reading. You’ll thank us when the next derecho blows through town.
Mapping out an Emergency Commute Plan is simple and Arlington Transportation Partners can help if you aren’t sure where to start. One of the easiest ways to get involved is to test your commute on September 22 – Car-Free Day!
