Survey results = new opportunities! |
|
Thank you to our many readers for taking our survey!
Over 15% of you responded.
Anne Parrot of Town Park and Kerri McGuinness
of Degussa each won an iPod by random
selection of those completing the survey by the
deadline. Congratulations Anne and Kerri!
CobbRides learned that:
Most of you actually read each edition and find it
valuable, especially in being informed about the
Town Center Area and how to save money on
commute costs.
You like:
Winning cash and prizes (of course!)
Learning about transportation improvements in the
area, and all CobbRides events, especially Lunch and
Learns and our Holiday Shuttle (which the majority of
you have ridden.)
You'd like earning
prizes by getting your employer involved in CobbRides.
CobbRides heard you! Six people
can each win $60 in gas cards!
The first three (3) commuters who work with companies
already involved with CobbRides, and can come
up with a way to have their employer be more involved
in our clean commute programs, will be winners!
The first three (3) commuters who work for a company
not involved with CobbRides, and can arrange a
confirmed appointment with their employer to meet
with our Outreach staff, will also be winners!
For more information on these new opportunities, write
Sue@CobbRides.com.
