RITEWAY BUS SERVICE IS RECGONIZED FOR CLEAN AIR EFFORTS
Riteway Bus Service, Inc. received the 2009 Wisconsin Partners for Clean Air (WPCA) Recognition Award for their efforts toward the improvement of Wisconsin’s air quality. The presentation was made to Ronald Bast and Rochelle Bast, president and vice president respectively, during the Wisconsin Partners for Clean Air Extravaganza held on Thursday May 20, 2010.
The WPCA is a coalition of about 300 businesses, community organizations, schools and government agencies committed to improving air quality through voluntary action. WPCA educates Wisconsin businesses and residents on air quality issues and works to effect behavior to improve air quality and reduce harmful air emissions as required by Wisconsin’s state implementation plan under the federal Clean Air Act.
The Bast family maintains a strong belief that having a sustainable business is important for the environment and the future. Eco-friendly policies and procedures are in place to address emission reduction and fuel conservation and Riteway operates vehicles that meet the new EPA guidelines. Other “green” initiatives by Riteway include a recycling program, digital imaging, energy efficient lighting and video conferencing for all locations. Ronald Bast commented, “We’re very pleased to have received the recognition award from Wisconsin Partners for Clean Air and support their vision and commitment to cleaner air for Wisconsin and the future.”
