Salmon Smart Tip - Start Making Smart Trips!
Whatcom Smart Trips is an innovative program that markets sustainable transportation choices to the entire community. Smart Trips encourages walking, bicycling, ridesharing, and riding the
bus to any destination in Whatcom County. It is supported by the City
of Bellingham, Whatcom Transportation Authority, Whatcom County,
Whatcom Council of Governments and Washington State Department of
Transportation. When you make Smart Trips, you accomplish a lot more than getting to your destination.
You help create a clean, healthy, and vibrant community in Whatcom County.
NSEA encourages you to join the thousands of other community members who make and record their Smart Trips.
Together we're proving that individual Smart Trips make a big difference to our community and to our local wild salmon populations. Just think about it - a lot of the super fun ways that we get out and enjoy the great outdoors - hiking, biking, paddling - also double as great ways to get around without using your car. Keeping cars off the road means keeping pollutants like carbon dioxide out of the air and copper and rubber out of our streams. For more information on how you can start making Smart Trips, check out their website at www.whatcomsmarttrips.org.
