FAQs

How does the Eco-Friendly Commute Planner calculate travel time?

We use average speeds for each mode—6 mph for roller skates, 15 mph for electric skateboards, and 8 mph for manual skateboards. Based on a straight-line distance estimation, we calculate how long it’ll take to get from point A to B. Keep in mind, this is a rough estimate since real routes might have twists, turns, or obstacles. Still, it’s a handy way to get a quick idea of your commute!

What kind of carbon savings can I expect by switching to skates or boards?

We estimate carbon savings by comparing your commute to driving a car, which emits about 0.4 kg of CO2 per mile. For every mile you travel on skates or a board instead, you’re saving that amount of emissions. It might not sound like much for a short trip, but over weeks or months, those savings add up to a real difference for the environment.

Can I use this tool for longer commutes or just short trips?

You can use it for any distance, though it’s best suited for urban or suburban commutes where skating or boarding is practical. Just pop in your maximum travel time, and we’ll let you know if the route fits within your limit. For super long trips, you might find the estimated times less feasible due to fatigue or terrain, but it’s still worth a shot to see your potential savings!
