The 2008 Working for Clean Air Awards, sponsored by the North Texas Clean Air Coalition, is gearing up to recognize both businesses and individuals in North Texas for their clean air efforts. Awards are given to employers from the eastern and western sides of the Metroplex for their strong involvement and innovative ways in helping to clean up our air quality in the North Texas region. Please submit an application no later than September 8, 2008 to have your employer considered for an award during the October 23rd and 24th luncheon. The top tryparkingit.com participants will also be awarded during the luncheon.
If you haven’t done so, sign up now for an opportunity to have your employer recognized for your clean air efforts. For more information, please visit the North Texas Clean Air Coalition website. |
The Dallas-Fort Worth region is the fourth largest metropolitan region in the nation with almost 6.5 million residents. Rapid population growth in the past decade has led to increasing transportation problems here in the region. The construction of additional roadway lanes has not kept pace with this population growth. As a result, traffic congestion has become a major concern for regional travelers; and with increased traffic congestion comes air quality concerns.
One way for commuters to help improve traffic congestion and air quality in the region is to reduce the number of vehicles that travel on our roadways, by using alternatives to driving alone to work. Alternative commute options include carpooling, vanpooling, transit, walking, telecommuting, etc.
Try Parking It will help you see your contributions to clean air by giving you an estimate of miles saved and harmful emissions reduced, each time you submit your alternate commute. With your help, the data you submit will help us calculate improvements in our regional air quality and will aid in the development and evaluation of our region's transportation systems and infrastructure.
