Sam, Lots of great advice from the other posters. Motorcycles are a great alternative to cars under the right conditions and if the rider is willing to invest the effort to be a safe, efficient rider.
I must second GRU's suggestion about riding a bicycle for such a short commute ( or even waliking ). To me starting a motor for such a short run is just wrong.
