Congratulations to St Joseph's Healthcare and to Open Streets Hamilton!
Congratulations to St Joseph's Healthcare for being named the 2010 Smart Commute Hamilton Employer of the Year! SJHH’s participation in Smart Commute Hamilton and the Hamilton TMA has been driven by Team EVA (Environmental Vision & Action), a grassroots greening program run by SJHH staff volunteers. SJHH launched Carpool Zone in September 2009 with an initial participation of 4 active Carpool Zone users. The number of active Carpool Zone users has increased by more than 5-fold to 21 in less than one year. In SJHH’s inaugural participation in the 2010 Clean Air Commute, SJHH had 114 participants for a participation rate of 2.28% (5th highest in Ontario for organizations over 3000 employees). SJHH’s 114 participants fully embraced the spirit of this event’s challenge to reduce pollutants by choosing cleaner, healthier and more sustainable modes of transportation. SJHH averaged 7.41 kg of pollutant savings per employee, which was the highest in the Hamilton TMA. 10 bike parking spots which were previously unsecure have been converted to secure spots to increase utilization. Overall SJHH has fully embraced the Smart Commute program and will continue to be one of the fastest growing and most active members of the Hamilton TMA.
