        Great Kick Off for Login For Loot!!
        LoginLogo

        Thanks to all of our new and existing registrants for a great kick off to our Login For Loot Challenge 06. We had over 260 participants take the pledge!

        Commuters who registered must log their commutes in order to be eligible for the fantastic prizes (such as a full gas tank for a year!) that will be given away at the quarterly US Play event.

        All who “pledged” for the Challenge received a t-shirt pack and the first 100 also received a canvas goody bag. The Login Challenge runs from September 11th through September 29th.

        Those of you who did not register --- Be on the alert for the next CobbRides' contest!

        Notify Linda@CobbRides.com for a weekly reminder to Login!

        Last call for Pace Awards RSVP's. Limited seats available!

        On Thursday, October 5, join Atlanta's business and community leaders for the 2006 PACE Awards at the Georgia Aquarium.

        Commute Times
        time

        According to a recent study, metro Atlantans have the fifth longest commute in the country. Cobb County came in as Number 82 with 29.7 minutes as an average commute.

        How’s your commute?? Why not take that time to read, catch up on your email or just relax!

        CobbRides is helping commuters form vanpools with a Town Center destination. Maybe there is one already operating in your work area – check the CobbRides website.

        CobbRides can also assist you in starting a vanpool. Your time and money are your greatest assets!

        Carpool and Vanpool Stories

        Do you have an interesting story about your carpool or vanpool? Send us any "Clean Commute" story and if we print it, you will be awarded a $25 Target Card.

        Read two articles on our "In the News" web page . . . one from a campus vanpool and the other a carpool journal.

        Thyssenkrupp Elevator starts on top floor!

        Welcome to the newest CobbRides partner, Thyssenkrupp Elevator!

        This ambitious company already has formed a vanpool and has another almost ready to kick off!
