While the campaign lasts for just five days, Rideshare Week is actually
the culmination of months of marketing activities aimed at motivating
your residents to try ridesharing. That's why we're contacting you, as
well as your mayor to explain how your city can play a leadership role in
this exciting campaign.
To start, we urge you to issue a proclamation declaring October 2-6, 2000
"Rideshare Week" in your jurisdiction. Enclosed is a sample
proclamation. We're also including a form that you can fax in to receive
free posters and brochures for your residents and businesses interested in
participating.
Just as ridesharing is about teamwork, so is this year's Rideshare Week.
We look forward to working with you to help promote alternatives to
driving alone in Southern California.
For more information about the campaign, please call Al Rangel with
SCAG at (661) 273-2425.
Sincerely,
Ronald Bates
president, Southern California Association of Governments
Councilmember, City of Los Alamitos
