About Don’t Drip and Drive:
The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) estimates that 7 million quarts of motor oil from vehicle leaks is released into the Puget Sound basin every year. To tackle the problem of chronic oil drips and leaks from vehicles, Futurewise has teamed up with state, local and other non-profit organizations to implement the regional Don’t Drip and Drive program - a comprehensive incentive-based automotive education program designed to raise awareness and empower vehicle owners to check for and fix car leaks. The program aims to increase the number of vehicle leaks repairs and reduce stormwater pollution that washes into our local streams and ultimately Puget Sound.
