City Promotes Commuter Challenge

Saint John companies, who sign up with the city, will be competing in the nationwide commuter challenge. You'll be asked to leave your vehicle at home during National Environment Week from June 5th through the 11th and find another way to get to work which could be walking, roller blading, carpooling or riding the bus. Program Co-ordinator Jody Kliffer says, who knows, you might like it.

He says this has health, physical and social benefits. He says one person in a vehicle with three empty seats and no interaction travelling to and from can only lead to road rage which is a negative form of interaction.
Your kilometers will be tracked daily and the final numbers will be tallied to determine which company and which city have done the most in saving gas along with carbon dioxide.
