We here at MASCO are excited to report that more than 2000 LMA employees have taken the pledge to be safer, more courteous commuters as part of our Karma Commuting Campaign.

And, many people have shared their thoughts, opinions and experiences about commuting in the LMA and in the city in general. We thought you'd like to see what people had to say, so we've included a sampling here.

"I loved this quiz. I feel that it should be a requirement for all people who hold a driver's license in MA to take a similar quiz each year that their license is renewed. Many people that I work with in Longwood still believe that cyclists are not legally allowed to ride on the road! Thank you for developing this learning tool."

"People can create good karma by maintaining a respectful and courteous outlook while driving. When people are driving in to work in the morning and they see bicyclists blocking parts of the roads, it is necessary for them to allow room for the bicyclists and be polite on the road. This will be a way of spreading the good karma forward, because the bicyclists will appreciate the gesture and therefore be more likely to also give mutual respect toward the other people on the road, too."

"I have needed to use a cane during the last six months and commuters have gone out of their way to offer me their seat on the "T" and commuter train."

"I use the shuttles. People need to be more courteous of people getting on or off the bus at various spots and giving up seats for elderly or infirm passengers. BE MORE POLITE ON THE BUSES."

"This quiz creates good karma!"

"Usually I encounter bikes who operate anyway they see fit. They act like cars when it suits them and they disobey traffic laws when it suits them. Thanks for the survey. Hope it helps."

"Being a cyclist in the Boston area, I think more driver education about the rights/rules of the road for cyclists needs to happen. For the most part my cycling interactions with motorists have been positive as I observe the rules of the road and I ride as if I were operating a motor vehicle (stop at intersections, heed the right of way to pedestrians, use hand signals when turning, etc.). Thanks to the City of Boston for installing more bike lanes in the city as this has raised awareness about the rights for cyclists. On the other hand, there are plenty of people that cycle in and around the city that don't observe the rules of the road. Overall, raising awareness about the rules of the road that cyclists should follow could make for really good commuting/riding karma!"
