What is Green Commute?
Don’t drive alone … Green Commute!
According to a 2004 City of Winnipeg study, 73%
of respondents regularly drove their car to work. Yet many green
commuting options are available to most people who travel to and
from work. Walking, cycling, riding public transit and carpooling
are all "green" ways
of commuting.

to make

workers and
residents.
The Downtown BIZ will subsidize 50 per
cent of the cost of a bike rack (this also applies to multiple
orders) The Downtown BIZ will handle the installation.

The Green Commute guide contains tools and advice
that help you promote transportation alternatives in your workplace.
The resources are designed to be adaptable. You may prefer to emphasize
certain measures over others, or to phase-in measures over a period
of time. For instance, your workplaces may need to set the goals
for green commuting before recruiting the key players; or the culture
of your workplace may call for widespread involvement of all departmental
managers from the outset.
If you’re looking for help along your Green
Commute journey,
Resource Conservation Manitoba offers a free Green
Commute consultation
service as part of our public outreach programming. Thanks to the
support of several community, government and corporate organizations,
RCM has promoted workplace green commuting since 1999.
Good luck in your journey to make your workplace a place where
all commuting options are treated equally!
