Connect With Pacifica This Week
|
|
|
Greetings!
Planning ahead, Coastal Cleanup Day is just a couple of weeks away. Pacifica is participating in the world’s biggest coordinated beach cleanup on Saturday, September 16 from 9-11am. You can sign up to volunteer through the
Pacifica Beach Coalition
. This is a great event to better Pacifica by eliminating debris at our beaches, parks, shoreline, parking lots and in our neighborhoods. I hope you get involved.
About a week later, all you joggers, should-be joggers and wannabe joggers have your special day. The Fog Jog will take place on Sunday, September 24 beginning at 9am at Salada Avenue and Francisco Boulevard.
Registration
is $15, however the first 100 to register by September 7 will get a free t-shirt (and your size is guaranteed!). This event is, of course, part of that weekend’s annual Pacific Coast Fog Fest. See you there.
Please let me know if you have comments or questions, and
thank you for wanting to
Connect with Pacifica!
Best,
KEITH BRESKIN
Interim City Manager

- Earn Incentives by Carpooling with the Scoop App - San Mateo County commuters are now eligible for up to $4 a day for carpooling using the Scoop app on their smartphones. The City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) of San Mateo County is offering this limited-time incentive as part of its pilot Carpool in San Mateo County! program to encourage County residents or commuters who work in San Mateo County to utilize private sector carpools during peak travel periods.Under the new program, commuters will sign up for the Scoop app, which automatically links drivers and riders to other users who are as close as possible to their origins and destinations. Once they've registered with Scoop, commuters will receive a $2 incentive per person during commute periods (5:30-10:30 a.m. and 3:30-8 p.m.) on their Scoop account, with a maximum incentive of $4 a day. Take advantage of the Carpool in San Mateo County! It’s fun and convenient. You can save time, save money, reduce stress, and meet new friends. It is also good for the environment.
