Traveling On The Weather Rollercoaster!
|
One day we're dressing for summer, the next day we're dressing for winter, the next day we're dressing for fall and now we're dressing for spring! We know the weather and high gas prices are impacting your commute these days ~ so big "shout out" to all who are lacing up those walking shoes, hopping on those bikes, finding a carpool, jumping on the bus or biking to a bus stop and loading your bike on the bus. You are the best commuter role model who will influence your coworkers, friends and neighbors to do the same, and together we make a difference!
