Congrats Kevin, You're a CTR Winner!

Congratulations to SRTC GIS Analyst Kevin! He won this handy-dandy dustbuster for taking part in Spokane's Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) program. That means he either rode the bus, walked, biked, or carpooled to work at least one day last month, or worked a compressed schedule. This is me presenting Kevin with his prize. I'm the Employee Transportation Coordinator for the CTR program in our office so I got the honor, and as you can see, we're both very excited about it.
So who says men don't like to clean? Since receiving his prize, Kevin has been non-stop dustbusting, including his keyboard
and even cleaning the cracks in the cubicle walls with the attached 'crevice tool.' I told him I'd bring in my cat Bob tomorrow to dustbust as he's starting to shed.
So how can you be cool like Kevin and win a CTR prize too? Here's a link to more info on CTR.

Hmmmm.... Must win a dustbuster, too!
Must have another photo in the blog!

I don't see anything on there about having to live in Spokane County to be eligible (Although I didn't read the fine print.)

I'm sure it's in the fine print somewhere, although I know CTR is statewide so I'm sure you can win a dustbuster through your own program.

The best part is that Kevin got to choose his own prize. There were items like knife sets, men's and women's watches, clock radios, earrings, and lots more. Kevin just bought a house though and is about to throw a big raging housewarming party, so he thought the dustbuster might come in handy.
