But it\u2019s not just about the dollars and cents. Walking or biking is a great way to squeeze in a little exercise in an otherwise busy schedule. Many great relationships have developed through car and van pools. And public transportation offers and a chance to take your hands off the wheel and enjoy a good book, read the paper or people watch. All are great ways to avoid the stress of a grinding commute and add a potential boost to your day.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all in keeping with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acps.k12.va.us\/Page\/1664\">ACPS 2020 staff health and wellness goal<\/a> and our employee health and wellness program, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acps.k12.va.us\/findingfit\">Finding Fit<\/a>.
