 In September 2009, King County Metro launched Beacon Hill In Motion. The In Motion program encouraged neighbors to incorporate alternatives such as walking, biking, carpooling, riding bus and light rail into their daily travel. King County Metro, Refugee Women's Alliance (ReWA), the Somali Community Center, Asian Counseling and Referral Service (ACRS) and the Chinese Information Service Center (CISC) and a team of local businesses thank all of you who participated in the Beacon Hill In Motion, whether by pledging to make travel changes or just seeking information about more healthy travel options. All your efforts really added up to make a difference-- just look at the numbers in the right hand column! Although the official project to encourage healthier travel options like busing, carpooling, bicycling, and walking in Southeast Seattle has ended, we hope your new travel habits will continue! Here are some quotes from our awesome Beacon Hill participants: "Thank you for this opportunity! I think it was an excellent program and it definitely helped motivate me to drive less. Now I just hope I can keep it up!" "At the beginning it was about the rewards, but then it changed to reducing my carbon footprint and improving my health." "Thank you for making this program available in SE Seattle! I really enjoyed participating and it made me more aware of my travel habits, forcing me to make conscious decisions rather than just doing what I would normally do (i.e., driving alone to get most places)."
