Sustainability Program
On the Go
Traffic
congestion, air quality and the daily commute are growing issues for
Southern Nevadans. Become part of the solution by choosing to use an
alternative mode of transportation. If you carpool, vanpool, bike,
ride a motorcycle, walk or use transit just four times a month, instead of
driving to work alone, you will help to improve our air quality
and reduce traffic congestion.
Check
with your employer to see if they participate in the
Club
Ride program. If not, encourage them to join. Some incentives include
monthly prize drawings and work site preferential parking for
carpool/vanpool participants.
