Enviance Powers "Driving Change" for City of Denver

Enviance has been working on a new initiative launched this morning by Denver Mayor John W. Hickenlooper.  The Enviance System has been combined with vehicle diagnostic and telemetric capabilities to power the nation’s first vehicular-based greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction initiative. The program, called Driving Change™, allows drivers in the City and County of Denver to proactively track driving behaviors that increase vehicular GHG emissions, such as idling, speeding, and fast starts and stops.

Each participant in the program has secure access to an Internet site, where their driving behavior is analyzed to show the individual driving behaviors that contribute to GHG emissions and how the individual driver compares with fellow program participants.

By providing drivers with real-time information on how their daily driving habits affect the environment, Driving Change and Enviance have offered cities, municipalities, organizations and companies a unique, new way to reliably measure and begin to manage carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the principle GHG generated from personal vehicles, corporate and trucking fleets.

“Autos and vehicle fleets are a major contributor to greenhouse gases and global warming and driving change is a results-oriented effort aimed at controlling those emissions,” said William K. Reilly, former Administrator of EPA and Environmental Committee Chair for the DuPont Board of Directors. “Mayor Hickenlooper has to be commended for committing Denver to take a leading part in meeting the number one environmental threat to the planet.”
