CT Rides week ends tomorrow with Bethel breakfast for bicyclists

The state Department of Transportation is urging Connecticut commuters to find alternatives to driving solo.  The 2nd annual CT Rides Week is wrapping up Friday. 

 

Project Manager Kay Carson says a Danbury corporation is taking part in the program.  Cartus Corporation offers preferred parking for carpoolers with a reserved convenient location for those drivers.  Events are also held three or four times a year with CT Rides.  The business also allows flexible work schedules to spread out the peak traffic time.

 

Tomorrow in Bethel, people who bike to work can take part in a free breakfast at the train station on Durant Avenue. 

 

The initiative is aimed at reducing congestion and improving air quality in the state.  Carson says solitary drivers can save time and money on maintenance, parking and gas by taking a bus or train or by joining a carpool. She adds that drivers can also reap health benefits by biking or walking instead of driving.

 

People can find out about their options at 877-CT-rides.
