From September 20th-27th, the North Shore TMA partnered with MassDOT, MassCommute and MassRIDES to promote the Massachusetts Clean Air Challenge, a weeklong effort to encourage green commuting (e.g., biking, walking, carpooling, vanpooling or taking public transportation) to/from work. During the week, many prizes were given out throughout the Commonwealth. The NSTMA also awarded a $100 Amazon gift card to Wes Slate from the City of Beverly. Congratulations, Wes!

Commute Another Way: Special Program for Eastern Bank
|
 
The NSTMA is currently working with Eastern Bank to help them try new commuting options (and help resolve their parking issues in the process). Over the next several months, we'll be rolling out a special incentive program for Eastern Bank called Commute Another Way. Employees will be further incentivized to try "green" ways of getting to/from work, including carpooling, taking public transportation and working at other bank locations.
