Summertime and the traffic’s easy, but just when you start to relax into your less congested and more efficient commute, it’s back-to-school time: roads full of parents and new teenage drivers. Fortunately, you can take steps to alleviate this problem. The SchoolPool program connects local families who want to ride-share and otherwise team up to get kids to and from school. Safe Routes to Schools educates the community on best traffic practices and encourages walking and biking as an alternative to cars. schoolpoolmarin.org, saferoutestoschools.org
