Learn About Transportation Costs

Looking for a place to live can be challenging.  It's important to remember you have choices.

 You're choosing more than a home.  You're also choosing:

• Neighbors
• Schools, stores, and a neighborhood
• How much time and money you spend on transportation

Make the most of this opportunity.  Consider your transportation options and costs before you move.
