The Roasterie logoyOU'RE INVITED!

For the last two months, employees across Greater Kansas City took a lot of cars off the roads during peak travel times. By telecommuting, carpooling, riding the bus, bicycling and walking to work, Green Commute Challenge participants reduced greenhouse gas emissions and saved a bundle. In fact, we improved on last year's results by 13 percent!

To celebrate our success, members of the active employer teams are invited to the Green Commute Challenge Awards Breakfast.
