Whether you own or rent your home it pays to move near your workplace. The current estimate of car expenses is 58.5 cents per mile. So for every ten miles your workplace is closer to your home you save $58.50 per week. Assuming you average 30 to 60 miles-per-hour during your commute you will also get an additional two to three hours of extra free time each week.

Metro Transit

An average Twin Cities commuter contributes about 2.6 tons of greenhouse gas emissions by driving alone to work. Multiply that volume of pollution times the number of people driving alone each day and it adds up to a serious impact.
