199393 Resource 107524 107631 205428 1205357971188 1216847371068 Controlled Enviance Powers "Driving Change" for City of Denver

At a press conference this morning, Denver Mayor John W. Hickenlooper launched Driving Change as the world’s first vehicular greenhouse gas (GHG) management and reduction pilot program.

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 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.drivingchange.org/Pages/AboutTheProgram.aspx" title="Driving Change">Driving Change™</a>, 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 <a target="_blank" href="http://blogs.edmunds.com/.eea4dfe" title="Edmunds Blog - with screenshots">show the individual driving behaviors that contribute to GHG emissions</a> 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.” 9 application/xml false Denver Driving Change Enviance GHG Denver's New Program to Reduce GHGs - Using the Internet From Red Herring: The city of Denver on Wednesday launched what it said was the world's first greenhouse gas management and reduction program targeting vehicles. http://www.redherring.com/Home/23929 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 jwuebben 74.202.198.130 false true false false true 205814 false false true false false false true 107524 blog blogsite/Enviance/web
