CHECK IT OUT | What employees are saying about their electric cars

Whether you care about cleaner air, enjoyable driving or saving money, there are lots of things to love about electric vehicles. The department, which has two plug-in hybrid fleet vehicles, works hard to make it easy for electric car drivers by providing four chargers at the Cherry Creek campus and one at the Laboratory Services building. There are 22 department employees who drive electric vehicles, and here’s what some of them have to say:

“I love that my EV doesn't have a transmission and never has to shift gears. EVs have great acceleration so they are fun to drive.” - Alicia Cronquist, DCEED   “I love how quiet my EV is. No one complains that there is too much background noise when I'm on hands-free calls.” - Andy Woster, PSD “I love NEVER having to stop at a gas station, especially when I'm already running late. And there's no oil to change!” - Alison Grace Bui, CHED “I love how affordable my EV was. After tax credits, it was cheaper than any conventional car its size.” - Lauren McDonell, DEHS Curious about electric vehicles?

Deadline for applications for school fitness center awards!

Physical activity and exercise are shown to help prevent and treat more than 40 chronic diseases, enhance individual health and quality of life, reduce health care costs, improve academic achievement, increase confidence and self-esteem, reduce discipline problems, cut absenteeism and foster better interpersonal relationships. The National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils seeks to encourage innovation in the field of youth fitness by recognizing and rewarding schools that use new and unique methods to promote physical activity and wellness among their students. The National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils envisions a fitness center in every school in the U.S., helping to build a nation that — through a Don’t Quit! attitude — boasts the fittest kids in the world.

Each fitness center is financed through public/private partnerships and does not rely on taxpayer dollars or state funding. Since 2012, the National Foundation for Governor’s Fitness Councils has delivered fitness centers in 19 states and this year plans to locate new fitness centers at schools in Colorado, Maryland and Louisiana.

Applications due by June 2. For questions, contact: info@natgovfit.org
