2008 Clean Air Challenge
Climatic conditions in Albuquerque make pollution an even bigger problem in the winter months, and vehicle emissions are the number one source of pollutants. Help us keep our air safe and clean by participating in the ABQ RIDE 2008 Clean Air Challenge. Pledge to use the bus, walk, bike, train or carpool.
The City of Albuquerque and ABQ RIDE continues to do it's part!
- This past year ABQ RIDE has made the largest single bus purchase in the history of Albuquerque. These 56 new diesel electric hybrid buses turned our entire fleet into a 100% alternative fuel transit system.
- We have established a Rapid Ride Bus route for a quicker and more enjoyable commute that is safe for our environment.
- The D-Ride provides FREE downtown transportation services that reduces traffic while minimizing air pollutants in the downtown area.
- ABQ RIDE has added additional bike racks to it's buses making it easy for inter modal transportation.
- During summer months the Trolley system is in full force offering another alternative mode of transportation.
