Regardless of where your prom is being held, you're going to have to find a way to get there. Adding sustainability to the list of important variables-- distance, weather, footwear and just the general "what I always pictured" – I've listed options here for you to consider
IN MY HEELS!?
How about heel-toeing it? If you're going to be coming from nearby, consider hitting the pavement with your pals in tow and walking to prom. Or, walk your way to the nearest public transportation if that's an option. It's so retro it's cool.

RICKSHAW, BABY
Not close enough to the venue to walk, but love the idea of zero-impact transportation? Enter, the rickshaw. Hire one for you and your date alone, or get all your friends onboard with the idea and hire a whole slew of these bikes and drivers. We guarantee you that this will get everybody talking about how sustainability can be chic and fun.

HYBRID
Whether its distance or just desire that is leading you away from the zero-impact transportation options, then consider hiring a hybrid car service to transport you and your friends to and from the prom. These high-end black cars can take up to three couples and will allow you to arrive in reduced-footprint style.

BUS OR BUST
If you want all twenty of your friends to travel to and from prom together, and there's just no discussing it, then at the very least talk to your driver about the idling. When interviewing companies make it clear that your driver must not leave the bus running while you are tearing it up on the dance floor. And, of course, if there is a hybrid or biodiesel bus option in your town, then GO FOR IT!
