In honor of International Car-Free Day, Senator Coons encourages Delawareans to reflect on the impact various modes of transportation have on our environment, and if possible, try leaving their car at home and instead walking, biking or taking public transportation.
Chris is a great proponent of alternative modes of transit and commutes from his home in Wilmington to Washington, DC, by Amtrak trains on a near daily basis. Additionally, he has been working with leaders from around the state to provide more recreational and bike-friendly routes, including the newly announced 14-mile C&D Canal Recreation Trail.
Delaware is very fortunate to have a wealth of active biking organizations within the state, and if you are interested in getting involved with cycling in the state for transport, recreation or both, Bike Delaware is a great advocacy organization committed to making Delaware more bikeable. Many Delaware roads have designated bike lanes or wide shoulders to accommodate cyclist and the Delaware Bike Council and DART provide information on mapping a car-free route for your commute.
Chris will continue to work to help Delaware be a place where residents can save money on gas by accessing alternate forms of transportation for commuting to work or for daily activities.
