2011 Valley Metro "Blue Sky" Honor Awarded to Total Transit
Valley Metro Award a Testament to Total Transit's Ongoing Green Initiatives
(firmenpresse) - PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 10/31/11 -- Valley Metro's 24th Annual "Champions for Clean Air" Campaign Awards recognized companies making great strides towards cleaner air. This year, Total Transit won the "Blue Sky Award" for going above and beyond to improve both air quality and traffic congestion in the Valley.
Total Transit has embraced the innovation behind the green movement and leads the way in creating an environmentally-friendly transportation industry. Discount Cab, a subsidiary of Total Transit, goes further than simply the green paint on its cabs. In 2008, the company purchased its first ten Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles, and today the hybrids make up 81% of the company's fleet, making Total Transit/Discount Cab's Prius fleet the largest in North America. The numbers are hard to ignore. With its Prius fleet, Total Transit will be saving an estimated 2,000,000 gallons of fuel per year. The Toyota Prius also has an EPA Greenhouse Gas Score of 10, the highest possible rating.
"Valley Metro's 'Blue Sky Award' isn't just an award, it's a tribute to all of the efforts being made by Total Transit company-wide to further our commitment to the environment," said Total Transit CEO Craig Hughes.
