HSEQ's Emma Hoffritz and Allison Lenda were in the MTC lobby Tuesday morning talking with team members who used sustainable travel options to get to work as part of the Get There Green campaign. There were also treats and stickers available for anyone who supported the cause.  

Get There Green is a campaign through the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation running from Sept. 22-29 to promote and celebrate more sustainable modes of transportation. Everyone at the NFTA is encouraged to join in by using a more sustainable mode of transportation for as many trips as they can this week. 

As a reminder, sustainable alternatives include:

• Walking
• Biking
• Taking NFTA Bus/Rail
• Carpooling
• Any other mode of transportation that is not traveling alone in a gas-powered vehicle (Kayaking down the river, E-scooter, onewheel!)

Green commuting can help the environment, reduce traffic congestion, improve health and well-being, and save money. Your efforts matter!
