			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just in time for today&#8217;s <a href="http://www.worldcarfree.net/wcfd/" target="_blank">World Car Free Day</a>, Forbes magazine culled some statistics about the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2009/09/21/clean-commutes-cities-lifestyle-america-public-transportation.html" target="_blank">top 10 &#8220;cleanest commutes&#8221;</a> in the U.S based on three criteria: mass transit use, carpooling, and driving alone.</p>
<p>Chicago makes the list, but not by much, sitting at #9 just above LA. (On mass transit use alone, we&#8217;re a little better, at #5, and 11.3% of using transit for our commutes.) Overall, San Francisco ranks #1.</p>
<p>I have no illusions that <em>Carless in Chicago</em> alone will make a big dent in these statistics, but perhaps it will help move the needle a little. So watch out, Portland and Boston (tied for #7); we&#8217;re coming for you.</p>
