Smart Commute 404-7 Update
Smart Commute 404-7 carpoolers in Richmond Hill and Markham increased their use of Carpool Zone by almost 60%, since Carpool Week, at the beginning of February, thanks, in part, to SC 404-7's Carpool Zone Contest in those communities. The Contest featured a 10.1 inch netbook prize, a $200 gas gift card and $25 coffee gift cards. Try it for yourself, at Carpool Zone, http://404-7.carpoolzone.smartcommute.ca/en/my/.
Smart Commute 404-7 Project Assistant Jennifer Maestre and Commuter Options Advisor Paul Bradbury provide commuter alternatives at last year's Canada Day Home Show.
