Prince George’s County: Upcoming Events

Take Action This Spring & Be Green.

Prince George's County is dedicated to making businesses form good habits, not only for the environment but for the everyday lives of their employees.

Each year we encourage employers to participate in great events that help people get out of the mundane drive to work and start thinking smarter on transportation and how it effects our County.

Lets start with some simple facts:

Our region was rated number one in traffic congestion.
56% of air pollution comes from corporate buildings
Americans generated about 254 million tons of trash

Employers can play a key role in helping in all these areas just by spreading the word to their employees. We have helped make it easy to share by providing three programs you and your staff can participate in.

Help us make Prince George's County a beautiful place to work and live.

Taking the Initiative

Working for a company that is actively involved in providing benefits for their employees is a much sought after market today when job hunting. Retention is the most important aspect to an employer. Many companies are starting to develop individual incentive programs that help meet the needs of their employees and one of those involves biking.

What company won an award for facilitating such a program?

Answer: Opower provides on-site bicycle storage, shower facilities and towel service. The office also hosts discounted bike tuning and repair events. Additionally, Opower provides healthy snacks and smoothies to cyclists at Bike to Work Day events.
