The 2010 BUSRide Competition invites entries to showcase best practices
BUSRide is putting out the call for submissions to the 2010 How Green? Competition. This competition spotlights the best practices that ease wear and tear on the environment through proactive green initiatives.
How Green? is an invitation to the entire bus and motorcoach industry—operators, OEMS and vendors—to showcase their organizations and profile the ways they work to reduce their carbon footprint, recycle materials, preserve resources and trim dependencies on energy use to operate with greater eco-sensitivity.
The intent of this annual competition is to provide greater insight into what all industry members can accomplish within their respective niches and to demonstrate greater awareness and stewardship.
