        Zipper06

        Our Holiday Zipper is returning!

        This is CobbRides’ 7th year for bringing the Holiday Zipper to Town Center Area employees.

        The Zipper will return on November 27th and will run weekdays through the 21st of December.

        Watch for information regarding Zipper schedules and routes! Transportation Coordinators, remember to schedule an event.

        Lunch & Learn at Maggiano’s

        The Clean Air Campaign and CobbRides invite you to a complimentary Lunch and Learn seminar at Maggiano’s Little Italy.

        How will your organization operate in the event or aftermath of a natural disaster or regional emergency?

        Join other metro Atlanta employers and experts to learn about emergency preparedness and the role of commute options.

        The event will be held on Friday, October 27, 2006, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, lunch provided.

        Welcome Vanpool Route 6
        TKvan

        Our newest partner, ThyssenKrupp Elevator, started CobbRides’ 6th vanpool route with delivery of a new van on September 19th!

        Vanpool #6 starts in Decatur and ends in TownPark. If this would work for you, contact Meredith.Raines@thyssenkrupp.com.

        Recently, a second vanpool was formed; this one starting from Villa Rica also ending at TownPark. Do you commute from Villa Rica? If so, contact Francesca.Threatt@thyssenkrupp.com.

        Interested in joining an established vanpool or starting your own?

        Commuter Rewards Survey
        phone

        You may be contacted by telephone within the next few days by CIC Research, Inc., an independent research firm conducting a survey for CobbRides, The Clean Air Campaign, and GDOT.

        Questions will cover your experience with the Commuter Rewards Program (such as Cash for Commuters, Commuter Prizes, Carpool Rewards, and the WalkThere! Challenge.)

        Your input is very important to us regardless of your level of participation in the program. We thank you for your cooperation!

        Congratulations to Donna Adams of KSU and Tracey Childs of CareCentric!

        Donna was awarded CobbRides’ Vanpool Champion Spotlight Award for the 3rd quarter of 2006. Donna reported the most vanpool trips and has referred several riders to her vanpool.

        Tracey was awarded CobbRides’ Transportation Coordinator Spotlight Award, also for the 3rd quarter of 2006. Tracey’s effort to inform and involve her employees in CobbRides programs has been above and beyond the call of duty.
