In an effort to educate citizens about the benefits of walking and bicycling, the Federal Highway Administration has created a list of advantages that people who walk to work, use mass transit, or employ bicycles and folding bikes may enjoy when they give up driving to work every morning. First, the use of fossil fuels is greatly reduced for every driver who considers using a bike for a commute. Secondly, roadway congestion is significantly reduced with fewer cars on the road. In addition, the emissions of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are greatly lowered with each person who takes to a bike.
