SANDAG invites nominations The SANDAG Ridelink program is inviting nominations for its annual Diamond Awards honoring San Diego County businesses that go the extra mile to help reduce traffic congestion. “There are many organizations in this region that have taken it upon themselves to help fight congestion, ease commutes for their employees, and help the environment at the same time,” SANDAG Executive Director Gary Gallegos said. “This is their opportunity to get publicly recognized for the good work they quietly do every day.” Award winners promote alternatives to commuting alone to work, including vanpooling, carpooling, use of public transit, teleworking, walking, and biking. Some companies provide incentives, subsidies, or pre-tax deductions to their employees to encourage participation. Nominations are open to all individuals, businesses, organizations, and public or private agencies that maintain an employee transportation program in San Diego County. Up to two winners may be named in each of the five categories: program excellence, innovation, marketing, ongoing commitment, and best new program. Applications are due by Friday, February 20, 2009, at 4 p.m. This year’s winners will be honored at the March 27, 2009, SANDAG Board of Directors meeting.
