Sustainable Transportation Webinar
Join Us for an Engaging Discussion on Sustainable Transportation and Community Equity
Michigan Sustainable Business Forum, Kent County Essential Needs Task Force (ENTF), and Praxis invite you to a thought-provoking conversation on the vital role sustainable transportation plays in enhancing both the sustainability and equity of our communities.
In West Michigan, single-occupancy vehicles dominate the daily commute, leading to increased traffic congestion, higher greenhouse gas emissions, and significant costs related to gas, parking, and vehicle maintenance. This discussion will explore alternative transportation options such as bus, vanpool, and biking, and how these modes can save time and money while significantly reducing carbon emissions.
We’ll also introduce Grand Rapids Active Commute Week, a community-wide initiative aimed at encouraging the use of sustainable transportation options. Participants will have the opportunity to log their “green trips” and witness firsthand the positive impact they’re making by reducing their carbon footprint.
