According to a article published by the UCLA transportati on department, choosing a bike over a car just once a day reduces the average person’s carbon emissions from transportation by 67%, underscoring the environmental impact biking can have as compared to driving. “We’re grateful for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts’ work to encourage biking while supporting state-wide environmental advocacy,” said Miriam Posner Harris, Executive Vice President at the Environmental League of Massachusetts. “Choosing fossil fuel free transportation options improves air quality and public health, alleviates congestion, and makes meaningful climate progress. We look forward to individuals taking advantage of Blue Cross’ free credit off er and advancing a greener Massachusetts in the process.” Bluebikes is municipally owned by 13 cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts and jointly managed by the Cities of Boston, Cambridge, Everett, Somerville, and the Town of Brookline.
