ldquoWe had (and can have again) a lunch for employees
who are considering carpoolsrdquo says Eileen OrsquoBrien
ETC for Archdiocesan Catholic Center To organize
the lunch she got a list of home zip codes from
human resources and identified which had the highest
concentration of employees an idea she got from
fellow ETC Imelda Bermejo Staffers who lived in or near those zip codes
were invited to a get-together lunch ldquoEven if people did not want to
carpool I advised them to come to meet their neighbors just in case
their car breaks down and they need a ride to work
one dayrdquoAn idea from Hsiao-Ching Chen with Los Angeles
County to drive home the ldquogo greenrdquo theme for
Rideshare Week ldquoInvite EV car companies to be at the
