From Kent Epperson, Director of SBCAG Traffic Solutions, about the kick-off to the campaign to use alternative transportation, competitively, for two months:


Big thanks go to everyone that made Tuesday night's event a great success. Thanks to Steve Cushman for being our MC, Supervisors Cabajal and Wolf and Mayor Blum for the theatrics, Council Members Schneider, House and Williams for supporting the great cause. Thanks to the six awesome employer teams - RMA, CEC, Cancer Center of SB, City of SB, the County of SB and of course Yardi Systems - the winner of the race! Thanks to our ambassador volunteers and traffic controllers and thanks to our event sponsors, the City of Santa Barbara, Wheel Fun Rentals, Wahoos Fish Tacos and KRUZ Radio and thanks for the cooperation of the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market.

Despite several bumps in the road (figuratively and literally) the event was a great success, well attended and received some great press. You may have caught some of this, but here are the links to the KEYT story, and the Daily Sound article.
