In an effort to further enhance the benefits of membership, Chamber members will now have access to a state of the art online ride-matching website, www.carpoolzone.ca, which will allow employees of members to match up with each other to minimize the cost of commuting while working together to prevent greenhouse gas emissions. Chamber members will also have access to tools and services to promote active transportation and public transit as commuting options.
