Bellevue University, in a continued tradition of community support, has joined in Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey’s Rideshare Challenge as a “Friend of MetrO! Rideshare.” The challenge calls on Greater Omaha citizens to carpool in order to reduce emissions and put money back into their pockets.  The challenge, also supported by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce and the Metropolitan Area Planning Agency (MAPA), has set a goal for at least 1,000 Greater Omahans to begin carpooling by July 1, 2008.

All Bellevue University students, employees, faculty, alumni, and friends are invited to visit www.MetroRideshare.org to participate. The free site, started by MAPA last fall, connects those interested in carpooling.
