Commute Solutions Month 2009

This September - Commute Solutions Month 2009 - people got out of their single-occupant vehicles and motivated to use their commute solutions!  During the two-week Commuter Challenge, local employees reported their alternative commuting efforts for a chance for prizes via RiverCities Rideshare (www.rcride.com),resulting in 20,339 single-occupant vehicle miles saved and 19,483 lbs of vehicle emissions reduced!  The annual Weirdest Commute Contest held September 16th at GSD&M Idea City was a big hit this year with twice as many entrants as usual, competing hard for ACL tickets with their unique commute solutions!  The closing celebration event at the City Hall Plaza on October 1st was also well-attended with the Commuter Challenge winners of great prizes!  Also announced were the Challenge’s employer awards who went to three Clean Air Partners:  University of Texas (Public/Government winner),  AMD and Spansion (corporate winners)!  Congrats to these Partners for highest employee participation in the Challenge this year!
