Description
Commuting and business travel are significant sources of our transportation emissions yet many of these trips can be made by active transportation and/or transit.
Programs such as carpool matching, GRT’s Corporate Transit Pass, and reimbursement for emergency rides home can help make these choices easy, normal, and low risk.
This action will be led by businesses and employers, and the Region of Waterloo.
