Governor Riley Promotes Carpooling for State
Employees
MONTGOMERY - With gas prices so high, Governor Bob
Riley is promoting a new service that helps state
employees save money by carpooling to and from work.
“Commute with Company” is a way state employees can
find potential ride partners through a secure
website maintained by the State Personnel
Department. At the website, state employees complete
an online application and are added to a database
that matches their commuting patterns with other
state employees. Participants will be able to search
the database not only by location, but by department
as well. The database is password protected and will
be available only to those who apply.
“This is a great service I hope state employees will
use. It helps them combat high gas prices and
reduces traffic on our roadways,” said Governor
Riley.
“We realize that many State employees drive long
distances to and from work and our goal is to help
State employees find someone with whom to share
their commute,” said Jackie Graham, State Personnel
Director.
“Commute with Company” is totally voluntary and free
to all state employees. To participate, employees
need to visit the State Personnel Department’s
website at
www.personnel.state.al.us. |
