Just uh, ride a bike (or buy an old car I guess, but bikes are more fun and good exercise)
Definitely a good idea if you are able. For people that have long commutes requiring driving on a freeway, it is probably not an option.
Bikes are great! I ride mine as often as possible, but many trips are not possible with bikes, in the US.
There are places in the US where you can if you're lucky enough to move there and/or live close to work, but yeah, it's a struggle for Americans to safely bike commute almost everywhere.
Just move to a townhouse closer to your job... Oh wait... They tore them all down to build freeways and then made it illegal to build new ones...
