Reduce Traffic One Lunch at a Time: Try Ride-Sharing for Your Next Sudbury Lunch Run

How often do you drive solo just to grab lunch?
(We’ve all done it.) 🚗💨

But here’s the truth: even one short solo trip per week adds to Sudbury’s traffic, emissions, and parking headaches.

✅ Here’s how you can make your next lunch break smarter:

🚘 Carpool with coworkers—rotate drivers or pick up together

🥪 Order together to reduce multiple trips

🚶‍♀️ Walk or bike if your lunch spot is under 10 minutes away

📍 Discover new nearby spots you’ve never walked to before

These small ride-sharing choices make a big impact.
They help reduce traffic, support your wellness, and keep our city moving more efficiently.

Smart Commute Sudbury isn’t just about your ride to work—
It’s about making all your daily trips more sustainable, including that quick lunch run.

Plan your lunch rides ahead of time with the Smart Commute tool.
It helps you organize carpools, log your trips, and build low-impact routines—right from your phone.

This Saturday, March 22nd, Earth Hour will take place between 8:30 and 9:30 pm! This annual event is a time when everyone is encouraged to avoid using energy.

We'd like to extend the challenge to you, and take it a step further. For all of March 22nd, we encourage you to celebrate Earth Hour by not driving all day. Instead, consider walking or cycling!

How will you be celebrating Earth Hour?
