Riding the bus, carpooling, walking or biking increases our quality of life and takes cars off the road creating less congestion. This week, try a new way to get to work and help us celebrate Communities in Motion Week. Today ride the bus, carpool, walk or bike to Sayre Park from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. and have some free lunch! Sandwiches will be provided by Subway, drinks by Pepsi and True Brew, and paper goods supplied by Sandys Office Supply. We want everyone to try another way to get around today and learn of the benefits of using alternative transportation.
