Johnson County spearheading program to reduce ozone in KC area

Submitted by Brent Hugh on Mon, 04/26/2004 - 5:39am
In the wake of new federal clean air regulations that are almost sure to categorize Kansas City as exceeding the allowed ozone levels, Johnson County is putting together a program to encourage employees to reduce emissions:

Full-time employees in Johnson County who ride the bus, carpool, walk or bicycle to work at least 80 percent of the days during the campaign will get a $100 gift certificate. If 10 percent of the county's employees participate, it will cost taxpayers about $30,000.

The idea is to encourage the county's 3,600 employees to rethink their daily routines to help protect the environment.
The full story is in the KCStar.
