Vespa

After watching the Genovese on scooters this week, we liked news of American corporations encouraging scooting. This afternoon Continental Airlines at Newark Airport was focused on a different sort of travel — at least for 3000 employees who were privy to a workshop on the merits of scooting. Vespa and Continental partnered for a workforce push. Employees gathered for buzz about $6,000 yearly savings for scooter drivers and eco-minded impacts of scooting, instead of driving cars.

“As we saw in London following that city’s introduction of a congestion pricing model in 2003, more scooters on the road actually decreased traffic delay times,” said Paolo Timoni, president and CEO, Piaggio Group Americas, Inc. “Through this partnership, Continental is leading the way in good personal transportation citizenship, for its employees, for the region and for the environment.”
