REFLECTION QUESTIONTransport Research and Consider Switching to a Hybrid or Electric VehicleReducing (or eliminating) exhaust emissions and improving public health are two benefits of green vehicles. What other motivators inspire you to consider switching to a more fuel-efficient vehicle?
Christopher Eco 4/17/2019 8:15 AMAs a motorcycle commuter, aside from getting over 40 MPG in fuel consumption, I enjoy toll-free use of HOV and HOT lanes on I-66 and I-495 in the DC area. I save time and money commuting by motorcycle. The cost of operating and maintaining a motorcycle is significantly less than a car. New electric motorcycles are also offering better performance for real world use; increased range, shorter charging times, and lower cost.
