Sustainable Madison Committee will convene Tuesday morning to discuss means of incentivizing alternative modes of transportation to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the city.
The committee will discuss ways to encourage Madison city dwellers to use forms of transportation that do not produce harmful fumes, mainly because the city is a high-traffic location.
In previous meetings, Sustainable Madison discussed implementing a program to pay commuters a small amount as a reward for biking to their place of employment, instead of driving.
Obvious obstacles that commuters would face, however, include dangerous weather and unexpected emergencies that require immediate transportation, according to committee member Rajan Shukla in a November 2013 meeting. The committee originally proposed the reimbursement program to reflect efforts made in Oregon and Washington that pay employees $30 for biking or walking to work.
The meeting will be held at 8:30 a.m. at Colectivo Coffee located on 25 South Pinckney St.
