Do something good for you and good for the environment this spring: join the Way to Go! Commuter Challenge. Join Vermonters from across the state as we leave our cars at home during the week of May 17-21. This annual event helps Vermonters reduce pollution from transportation, save money at the pump and improve their physical health.
According to the 2005-2007 American Community Survey 3-Year Estimates, 79% of workers in Rutland County commuted to work by driving alone. The average commuting time was 19 minutes.
Last year’s Way to Go participants saved over 10,000 gallons of gas (nearly $23,000 worth at last spring’s prices!) and prevented over 200,000 pounds of air pollution. You can help reduce pollution by trying a new way to get to work or school, whether for one day or all five, during the week of May 17-21. Bike, walk, carpool, or take the bus.
Sign up at www.waytogovt.org! For more information you can also contact Susan Schreibman at susan@rutlandrpc.org or call the Rutland Regional Planning Commission at (802) 775-0871 x.204.
