Join Us: TFF and Greenway Head to DC Inauguration
Green Bus Inauguration Tour
Greenway will be offering a complete transportation package for The Inauguration, including a 100% biodiesel powered bus for up to 47 passengers, catered lunch, drinks, and dinner on the return at famous Bottoms Up Pizza in Richmond. We will be leaving from Durham and its Green Oil Campus on January 19th at 8:00AM, arriving Franconia-Springfield Station Metro Station at 2:00PM. And returning the 20th at 5:00PM, leaving Franconia-Springfield Station, arriving Durham… who knows when?! Price for the complete package will be $200, which includes a $50 donation to The Forest Foundation.

Accommodations
Greenway will not be offering official overnight accommodations, but some limited space is available for first come first serve. Prices for accommodations that are Metro walkable (30 mins. to the Mall) vary from floor space camping, to couches, to bedrooms.
Pedicabs on the Mall
In addition, Greenway’s new Pedicab Manager, John Bair, will be bringing our two pedicabs up to service the Inaugural festivities on and around the Mall starting Jan. 9th. He will be running multiple shifts and two of Greenway’s founders will be on hand to drive and to make policy suggestions to any errant decision-makers who decide to “Go Green” and ride pedal power! If John is smart, he may be able to get in the parade and give us some real nationwide publicity!
Sponsorship
The Bus and Pedicabs are looking for sponsorship for the Inauguration tour. The Bus will have sign space on either side and on the rear, and the Pedicabs will have their back panel space available. We expect hundreds of thousands to see us on tour, so given our high profile as probably the only biodiesel bus headed to DC and one of only a few pedicabs on the Mall, we think this will be a great marketing opportunity. Contact us for pricing.
Proceeds from the trip and sponsorship will help fund The Forest Foundation’s non-profit work.
Trip Stipends and Discounts
For those who can not afford the full price of the tour, but can show volunteer service and dedication to the cause will be provided stipends or discounts. Other non-profit and environmental groups may also be offered discounts. Two stipends of $100 each are available to students on a first come basis from Dr. Sandy Smith-Nonini of YIKES! Contact us for details.
Deadline for Deposits:
Jan. 16th
