HRM Launches Smart Car Program

(Friday, April 17th, 2009) - GET SMART... on Wednesday April 22nd, Earth Day, join Mayor Peter Kelly as the Halifax Regional Municipality launches the HRM Smart Car Fleet Program. In an effort to encourage municipal staff to use sustainable modes of transportation for commuting to work, HRM has developed a program where Smart Cars will be available for staff to use during the work day for meetings, site visits, etc.. Starting on April 23nd, 2009 three Smart Cars will be available for use by HRM staff, one will be located at the Eric Spicer Building on Mount Hope Avenue, one at Duke Tower and one at Alderney Gate. As part of HRM's Transportation Demand Management program, the availability of these cars will provide staff with more sustainable transportation options and encourage the use of modes other than private vehicles.

Please join us at 1:00 pm at the Eric Spicer Building, 21 Mount Hope Drive, Dartmouth for the launch of this program. Refreshments will be available so please bring your own reusable mug to the event.

When:    Wednesday April 22nd , 2009 at 1:00 pm
