Lafarge Sponsors 50-Cent Bus Rides on Fridays during Ozone Alert Season
Lafarge is sponsoring 50-cent bus rides on Fridays during Ozone Alert season May 14 through Sept. 24, 2010.
Tulsa Transit General Manager Bill Cartwright said, "We are extremely grateful for Lafarge's generous contribution and support of public transportation in Tulsa as well as their commitment to clean air."
Public transportation plays a key role in reducing pollution. Road vehicle emissions are the largest contributors to smog. Vehicles account for 50% of air pollution nation-wide. Compared to private vehicles public transportation produces 95% less carbon monoxide (CO), more than 92% fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nearly half as much carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) - for every passenger mile traveled.1
The Ozone Alert Program brings citizens, business, industry and government in the Tulsa area together to voluntarily reduce ozone-forming emissions on days when the area is vulnerable to high ozone levels.
