Regional Energy Committee

The RRPC Energy Committee will hold its monthly meeting next Tuesday, April 21, 2009 at the Asa Bloomer Building in Rutland, VT.

The April meeting will focus on transportation and energy efficiency.

Quick fact:
According to the 2005-2007 American Community Survey 3-Year Estimates, 79% of workers in Rutland County commuted to work by driving alone. The average commuting time was 19 minutes.

Come to the meeting and learn about how your business, community or school can compete in the Way to Go! Commuter Challenge (read more!). The program challenges Vermonters to find healthier, safer, and more environmentally friendly ways to get to work, school and play.

This initiative is growing every year and has expanded far beyond its original roots in Chittenden County. Last year, ten of the twenty-seven communities in the Rutland Region participated.

All participants are entered into prize raffles and can access coupons for 10 cent bus rides and free martials arts lessons, among other great benefits.
Visit the Way to Go! website.

Congratulations to Middletown Springs, one of last year's winning schools!
