Way to Go! Commuter Club promotes alternative commutes for Downtown Asheville employers and workers Print E-mail

This program is designed to help promote healthier lifestyles and alternative commutes for employers and employees downtown Asheville. Participants will be encouraged to run errands while walking, as well as walking to lunch, or taking a quick break. It is so easy for us to jump into our cars and drive two or three blocks for lunch. Not only does this cause traffic congestion, but also air pollution in the summer months, especially during the hottest part of the day during Ozone Action Days.

It will also allow employees/commuters to get to know their work neighborhoods, meet other co-workers, and volunteer to lead walks. Doing this during a work week could potentially carry over into their weekend schedules.

Commuters/employees who commute to downtown Asheville via bicycling, walking, transit, and car/vanpooling two or more days a week are eligible to register to receive a Commuter Club card and also win prizes. Discounts may be offered at participating downtown businesses.
