The 9th annual Business Commute Challenge last week garnered record participation with 85 local businesses and 16,500 employees, as well as impressive results with the reduction of 33,000 lbs of carbon dioxide. The week-long program encouraged employees of participating businesses to commute using an alternative method – other than driving alone.
