What is May in Motion?
May in Motion – Alternative Transportation Champions is a month
long promotion designed to reward Treasure Valley employers for educating
their employees about transportation-related issues, and encourage their
participation in transportation alternatives through a variety of exciting
events and activities.
May in Motion is an annual event organized by Ada County Highway District
Commuteride and Valley Regional Transit and supported by public and private
sector interests concerned about the long-term vitality of the Treasure Valley.
Why May in Motion?
Traffic congestion and poor air quality are critical issues affecting the lives
of all Treasure Valley residents. Failure to resolve these issues is taxing the
local economy and jeopardizing the lifestyle that has contributed to area growth.
Resolution is impossible without public consensus. The first step toward building
that consensus is to focus public attention on the issues and options available
for achieving solutions. May in Motion is dedicated to that purpose.
Who will the promotion appeal to?
- Owners, managers, partners and employees of Treasure Valley businesses
- Local governmental officials and employees
- Treasure Valley residents who are concerned about traffic congestion and air quality
- Treasure Valley commuters
