Commuting

• Buy a new or used hybrid car. You'll save money on gas, help the environment, and even receive a 0.25% APR discount on your MITFCU auto loan. Plus, ask your tax professional if your hybrid car qualifies you for a federal income tax credit of up to $3,400.
• Did you know? Many car companies make "hybrid" or "low emissions" versions of your favorite models, like the Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, Ford Escape, and Chevy Tahoe, just to name a few!
• Each commuter who takes public transportation to work just two days a week reduces greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 1,600 pounds per year, according to the EPA.
• When driving on the highway, consider using cruise control. This setting helps improve your vehicle's fuel economy.
