Good words

Ultimately, Positively Cleveland envisions a convention center campus with stunning architecture that makes a bold, dynamic statement about the city. It will be state-of-the-art, possessing all the latest technology. It will be “eco-friendly,” incorporating both green practices and green building design. It will operate as a viable business, offering parking, copy centers, retail opportunities and other visitor experiences within its complex. It will be accessible, connected to a headquarters hotel, easily reached by public transportation and within walking distance of entertainment options like dining, sporting events, concert venues, theaters and shopping. And it will be designed for future use, ensuring the community’s continuing return on investment by being flexible (changing meeting rooms), expandable (future growth), adaptable (multiple and mixed use) and upgradeable (implementation of yet-to-be-discovered technologies).

Cleveland -- are you taking the commuter challenge?
Start: 9:00 am
End: 5:00 pm

Beginning July 17-31 rethink your commute. Take the Commuter Challenge and try a more sustainable form of transportation for at least one day. Bike, walk or carpool. Try public transit. Alternative transportation can have an important effect on Northeast Ohio's air quality and your health and your wallet.

“For every 20-mile round trip you eliminate, you save a gallon of gas and keep about 25 pounds of pollutants out of the air we breathe,” explains Amy Wainright, an environmental planner at the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA).

NOACA’s Air Quality Programs are excited to announce this year’s prizes! By participating in Commuter Challenge, and completing the survey at the end, you will be registered for a drawing that includes the following prizes:

  • Cleveland Indians Baseball Tickets
  • Mr. Hero Sandwich Gift Certificates
  • Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Admission Tickets
  • Bodies Exhibition Tickets

In addition, NOACA has a limited number of Laketran bus passes for use during Commuter Challenge. These are available first come, first served, by emailing your name and address to aschmitt@mpo.noaca.org.
