LAND STEWARDSHIP

Smart commuting

Land Programs Associate Ben Stupka accepted the Smart Commute Challenge Award from Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero on behalf of the MEC staff. MEC won the challenge by having the highest percentage (54%) of employee/days where trips to work were made by means other than a single occupancy vehicle. For the week of May 15, 19 MEC staffers and employees from about 30 other companies around Lansing walked, biked, carpooled and telecommuted. For the victorious efforts, MEC will receive a bicycle from the MSU Bike Project that staff will use to—you guessed it!—Smart Commute to lunches and nearby appointments.
