Rideshare Week

by 10/15/07 No Comments

The week of October 15-19, 2007 marks the 25th annual celebration of Rideshare Week, an annual promotion designed to increase awareness and the benefits of sustainable transportation such as bicycling, carpooling, riding the bus, telecommuting and walking.

Commuters are asked to use a sustainable form of transportation at least one day during Rideshare Week, in order to help relieve our congested streets and highways, improve air quality and save energy and commute costs.

The goal of Rideshare Week is to educate and remind individuals how easy it is to use sustainable transportation. Participants are also eligible for prizes including travel packages and the newest technology.
