The Clean Air Campaign, which expanded its services to Coosa
Valley businesses in 2008, has added four new employer Partners
in Rome: F&P Manufacturing of Georgia, Floyd Medical Center,
Plant Hammond (operated by Georgia Power) and Berry College.
`The Clean Air Campaign’s new employer Partners in the Coosa
Valley represent a variety of interests, but all have a stake in
Rome’s air quality,` said Kevin Green, executive director of The
Clean Air Campaign. `They join our current partner, the Coosa
Valley RDC, making the morning and afternoon drive that much
easier for the Coosa Valley’s 43,000 commuters.`
Enrolling in The Clean Air Campaign’s partnership program provides employers with no-cost assistance in designing commute options programs that encourage carpooling, vanpooling, teleworking, bicycling and other alternatives to driving alone. These programs save employees money on their commute costs, improve workplace morale and enhance productivity, in addition to reducing air pollution.
The Clean Air Campaign also offers commuter incentives and school-based programs to reduce vehicle travel and improve air quality. Drive-alone commuters can earn $3 per day, up to $100, when they make the switch to an alternative. Carpools of three or more can earn gas cards, and regular clean commuters can win monthly $25 prizes.
Employers in the Coosa Valley that are interested in joining The Clean Air Campaign and receiving consulting services at no cost can call 1-877-CLEANAIR (1-877-253-2624) or visit CleanAirCampaign.org/Coosa for more information.
