Into the Pool
During a ceremony hosted by Suffolk County
Executive, Steve Levy in Hauppauge, N.Y.,
ClearVision Optical was awarded a 2008
Regional Commuter Choice Innovator Award.
ClearVision created an innovative carpooling incentive
program for their 120 employees. The goal of the program
was to promote car pooling in order to conserve gas and
help improve Long Island’s air quality by reducing traffic.
The company’s carpooler incentives include receiving a
$50 gas card each month, quarterly raffles, preferred
parking spaces and a “Guaranteed Ride Program” for
those carpoolers who need a
ride in times of emergency.
The program was made possible
by a New York State
grant the company won
through the Long Island
Transportation Management
(LITM) office. ClearVision’s
Brenda Litzky is shown here

Levy.
