The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and MORPC’s RideSolutions program are seeking nominations for its Employer Recognition Awards, honoring employers who assist their employees with strategies for a better, more sustainable commute to work. Awards will go to selected employers that have voluntarily initiated programs that help and encourage employees to commute to work in ways other than driving alone. These could include carpooling, vanpooling, transit or bicycling.

MORPC is soliciting applications for employers in MORPC’s 12 county service area (Delaware, Fairfield, Fayette, Franklin, Knox, Licking, Madison, Marion, Morrow, Pickaway, Ross and Union) in three categories: employers with fewer than 50 employees, employers with 51 – 250 employees and employers with 251 or more employees. Eligible employers will have initiated, enhanced or expanded an alternative commuter or telework program by June 2012. Read more
