Scottsdale Unified School District participates in the Maricopa County Trip Reduction Program. As you know, air quality in the valley is a major problem in Arizona, particularly in Maricopa County. We support many efforts to improve air quality and urge all employees to reduce the use of their vehicles whenever possible. This can be achieved through car-pooling, the use of public transit systems, bicycling or other methods that reduce single-occupancy vehicle miles. We have TRP representatives at each site to assist you with ways to reduce air pollution. In-depth information about air quality in the state of Arizona is provided by the Maricopa County Trip Reduction Program on its Web site at: http://www.maricopa.gov/aq/divisions/trip_reduction. Also available on this Web site is information about ride sharing opportunities. Our District supports a guaranteed ride home for employees enrolled in the TRP program. Please contact your TRP representative or the Transportation Department at (480) 484-8550 for more information. Each of us doing a small part adds up to "cleaner air for all of us." |
