The Chatham Urban Transportation Study/Metropolitan Planning Organization
(CUTS)/MPO, in cooperation with Memorial Health and St. Joseph’s/Candler, is holding a press conference for the launch of the Coastal Commuters promotional program. The event will take place on Friday, April 18 at 11 a.m. on the frontage road at the corner of DeRenne Avenue and Abercorn Street. Speaking will be MPO Chairman Pete  Liakakis, as well as representatives from collaborating businesses and organizations.

Coastal Commuters encourages carpooling, mass transit, bicycling, and walking as
methods in everyday transportation. A central feature in the program is a regional, online ride-matching system, which will be available for free to the general public, effective April 18. The promotion of alternative transportation among commuters to
DeRenne Avenue was a recommendation in the Connecting Savannah Action Plan.

Please call Tom Thomson at 651-1446 or Jane Love at 651-1443 for additional
information.
