What is Arlington Doing Right

Chris Hamilton and the transportation team in Arlington County, Virginia are doing something right. In fact they are doing several things right. They have gone out of their way to make it easier for commuters to find alternative ways to get to work other than a single driver/passenger car. Through their commuter retail store they are helping commuters find alternative transportation and have launched ride sharing/car pooling programs, bike programs and provide bus maps and travel information.

They even won an award from ACT.

WOW! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

LMG Van Pools

Lean Mean Green had a chance to catch up with Allen Feather from Van Pool company VPSI at the ACT International international conference and ask them about ride sharing with van pools

ACT International President Jon Martz

We visited the 2007 ACT International Conference in Seattle and asked the ACT President Jon Martz what things people don’t realize about ride sharing.

The ACT International Conference itself is a meeting of Transportation professionals who’s goal is to reduce traffic congestion, conserve energy, and improve air quality. Now that sounds like a good organization to us. Maybe you should let your boss know about this so that your company can start making a difference.
