September marks a record month for the amount of CO2 emissions reduced by County Connection passengers who use the bus to make their weekday trips since we began tracking emissions savings in 2013.  In September, the people riding County Connection buses reduced CO2 emissions by 34,040 pounds every weekday. That’s over 7,400 pounds per weekday more than in September of 2014.

Each person can make a difference. With the system average trip length (one way) of 5 miles, each person who leaves their car at home and uses the bus will reduce CO2 emissions by 4.6 pounds. One person – one day a week – you do make a difference.

Summer is over, vacations are complete, students are back in school, and commute traffic is back to the unpleasant “normal”. This is often the time when many choose to use public transportation instead of driving every day.

In the month of August, County Connection riders reduced CO2 emissions by 29,413 pounds EACH WEEKDAY. Were you one of them?

Using County Connection’s average trip length (one way) of 5 miles, each person who leaves their car at home and uses the bus will reduce CO2 emissions by 4.6 pounds. Riding just one day a week will make a difference.

Meet Sophia

When Sophia came to County Connection 15 years ago she was amazed to learn that many of her co-workers had been here for 15 years or more. She thought this must be a great place to work. Now here it is 15 years later and she knows her first impression was right.

Customer service is #1 with Sophia. “I have a good way with people so that even if they’ve had a bad day, I can usually coax a smile out of them”. She truly enjoys her job and the people she serves, and it shows.
