Waterproof surfaces such as asphalt and concrete increase the amount of storm water that runs off your driveway into storm drains, carrying oil and other contaminants into waterways and out to sea. So maximize plant cover, which absorbs water, and use gravel or other porous materials for driveways, patios and paths. Go further, wash your car at a do-it-yourself commercial carwash, which drains oil and other automotive contaminants to wastewater treatment plants, not your storm drain.
