In 2007, 79% of Valley residents and 84% of those employed indicated they have a personal computer in their home. Additionally, more than four in five residents indicate they have access to the Internet at home, work, and/or school (83% up from 75% last year) and nine in ten employed residents also have Internet access (92% up from 89%).
When you carpool, ride the bus or light rail, walk to work, ride your bike to the office or even take advantage of your employer’s telework or compressed work week options, you are contributing to an important Valley wide objective: cleaner air. Identifying your personal commuting options and pursuing them is a challenging but rewarding path. As a community, we must all make an effort to improve the air quality and reduce congestion, and the path to cleaner air begins with each one of us. Valley Metro is committed to helping residents find alternative mode solutions, and we thank you for visting our web site.
The Valley Metro Business Services staff works with the Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQ) and the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG). On behalf of MCAQ, our mission is to assist large employers in development and implementation of their company’s Trip Reduction Program, which aims to reduce traffic impacts on air pollution and emissions in the Valley. For MAG, we seek to educate Valley residents on alternative mode commute options, and encourage them to reduce their single occupant vehicle (SOV) travel throughout the County. Both programs hope to improve air quality and make Maricopa County a better place to live, work and visit.
