Driving a Car in Cortland County

 

Driving a car is generally the most expensive way to get around. It also contributes to road damage, air pollution, and global warming.

 

Owning a car can cost on average $8,500 per year. That includes a medium sedan, driving 15,000 miles per year and does not include loan payments. Calculate your costs from AAA’s Annual Driving Guide.

 

If you can walk, bike, take the bus, or rideshare you can substantially cut your expenses and environmental impact. Or take a look at an alternative fuel vehicle if you are interested in moving away from gasoline.
