2008 Air Quality Transit Partners Program

Air Quality Transit Partners Program

DART First State's Air Quality Transit Partners Program, administered by the Transportation Management Association (TMA Delaware), provides employers with FREE transit passes for each of their registered employees to use anytime during the ozone season.

Once again, the program is designed for easy employer administration as well as user-friendly outreach materials for participants.

Ground-level ozone is a major source of pollution in our region and it can have an impact on the health of individuals living in the area. DART's program encourages employers to promote transit to their employees with the offer of FREE transit passes and an easy-to-use tool-kit provided to assist in educating employees about the ozone problem. Employer participation in the Air Quality Transit Partners program is a great way to make a difference in ozone reduction!

Becoming an Ozone Action Transit Partner is easy. Human Resource managers or other appropriate worksite representatives can fill out the online application or contact TMA Delaware at 302-658-9001 to receive the promotional transit passes and toolkit. Only one contact per company will be permitted. Once a worksite representative has registered their company they must then begin filling out the employee registration spreadsheet. If you are unable to use the spreadsheet please contact TMA Delaware for another format (302-658-9001). Once you've gotten the names of all interested employees and the spreadsheet is complete, this spreadsheet should be e-mailed to TMA Delaware. After TMA Delaware has received a completed employer registration form along with the employee registration spreadsheet, transit passes will be forwarded to employer worksites. Transit Passes will not be sent until both forms have been received.

The registration deadline date to participate in the 2008 program is June 30th. Interested employers can contact TMA Delaware (302-658-9001) with questions or for more information regarding this program.
