The Circulator: The Free and Dry Way Around Bethesda!

The weather this summer has been...not dry. But that shouldn't make you reach for your car keys!
You can still take the Metro or a bus, and then hop on the FREE Bethesda Circulator to take you the rest of the way to work! If you're riding your bike and it starts to rain, you can even pop  your bike on the rack on the front of the bus and ride the rest of the way to your destination. 
Click here to see the Circulator's route, schedule, and to download the free mobile apps for iPhone and Android!

September is National Preparedness Month

Don't wait until an emergency happens to think about an emergency plan. September is National Preparedness Month, so go to the ready.gov website and start the conversation! The Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security also has some tips on what you need to have in place. Here at BTS, we think it's a perfect time to explore how telework can help your business continue operations during weather events and emergencies!

Car Free Days - September 21 & 22

Car Free Day is celebrated around the world every September 22, however, this year, September 22 falls on Saturday, so we are getting the fun started early by enabling pledges on Friday, September 21st AND Saturday the 22nd and giving you two days to go Car Free. Start looking for ways you can go Car Free on one or both of these days and take the pledge so you will be eligible to win prizes!
