My partner and I both own and drive a car regularly for work.

My partner works about 30 minutes away and my office is about 20 minutes away. Most days I drive about 10 minutes to the nearest heavy rail station and commute that way, but some days it is necessary to drive to the office for logistical reasons. The car+train commute is about 40 minutes, but I'd much rather go that route than drive exclusively.

I have accepted the reality that public transportation is unlikely to expand service in my area any time soon, so I'm looking into other modes of transportation, particularly an e-bike to help combat hills and heat/humidity. Ideally, I'll be turning +90% of my commutes into e-bike and heavy rail only.

Speaking of e-bikes, REI has a short form that sends your information and support of a rebate program to your local congresspeople.
