How City Council Member and former Mayor Andy Cohen is driving less

Andy Cohen’s busy lifestyle requires a fair amount of driving. Civic activities in San Francisco and around the Bay Area, such as the Association for Bay Area Governments Conference, Redwood City Arts Council and the Tech Museum in San Jose required over 200 miles of driving during the week.

Andy was able to reduce driving alone by carpooling with Mayor Heyward Robinson for the ABAG conference. And he has been walking (with his dog Sheila) to local coffees, lunch meetings, city offices and library visits. Andy has also been able to reduce driving by combining errands and avoid some trips entirely by identifying alternatives to getting the tasks done.

It’s not realistic for most of us to eliminate driving entirely. With a little bit of thought, Andy has found ways to reduce driving – and get more exercise, fresh air, and friendly networking.
