Community Transit’s Choice Connections program recognizes worksites and commuters in Snohomish County and the City of Bothell that go above and beyond to reduce pollution and congestion by promoting healthy transportation choices.
Congratulations to the Choice Connections Award winners for the 2nd Quarter of 2014:
Smart Commuter of the Quarter
Gina Paterson-Bryant from
Premera Mountlake Terrace audits processes and systems to better serve
Premera’s customers. She carefully considered her impact on the environment,
and made a very deliberate decision to give up her car completely in 2005. Gina
uses public transportation, carpools and walks for her commute and all of her
personal errands as well. She is a personal advocate and resource for her
co-workers on how to use transit and go car free!
ETC of the Quarter
Kelly Davis from Seattle Genetics in Bothell used her passion as a cyclist to take
her worksite program to the next level.
Kelly led Seattle Genetics to receive the Cascade Bicycle Club Silver-level BizCycle Certification denoting Seattle Genetics as an outstanding
employer for commuters. Kelly organized
her worksite’s Bike to Work Month Campaign and tied it to a fundraiser for Gilda’s
Club. Kelly’s team raised $6,000
for cancer support and together biked over 6,000 miles in the month of May.
Employer of the
Quarter
