🚶♂️🚲 On Wednesday last week we had the pleasure of hosting a Smart Commute Month tabling event at Milton Town Hall! We connected with the Town of Milton employees and a few local residents, sparking great conversations about sustainable commuting through our survey. 🙌 Their input is helping us shape greener, healthier commuting solutions for the community! 🌍 It was fantastic to learn that some employees already carpool to work, often dropping their kids off at school on the way, while others walk or bike—including e-bikes—and take advantage of the underground bike parking! 🚴♂️🔌 Stay tuned for more updates as we continue promoting sustainable transportation in the Town of Milton! 💼 #SmartCommute #Sustainability #GreenTransportation #MiltonON #EcoFriendlyCommutes #BikeToWork
