Two ways to make your commuting more convenient

The John Marchione Administration continues to search for answers to traffic congestion, the carbon footprint, and making car-pooling easier and fun. Last night the Administration re-introduced the "RideShare"car-pooling website and launched an exciting, new Redmond "Go Green" Trip Reduction website. These websites :

• make it fun & easier to commute.
• offer 5 commuting options (car & van pooling, transit, bike, even walking)
• save money & time on your commute and have fun!
• earn a $50 Amazon gift card "green" incentive or donate your incentive.
• make your employer happy
• "go green"!

In 2008 Go-Green: 7100 commuters and 114 employers participated, 252,500 gallons of gas was saved, 4.8 M pounds of CO-2 reduced, and 185,0057 trips were taken off the road!

In 2007 Rideshare: 32% of all commuters used the "RideShare" program. It's kinda like a chat room.
