Norwalk, CT - Teddy’s Transportation System, Inc., a global ground transportation company based in Norwalk, CT, is celebrating the launch of T-Green™, a comprehensive program of energy-saving initiatives, with a September drawing for a Trek 7.3 FX Bicycle. Teddy's will enter each of its passengers from September 1-30, 2008, in a drawing for a new Trek 7.3 FX bicycle, a lightweight, do-it-all model that combines durability with excellent handling, according to the manufacturer. Westport Bicycle is co-sponsoring the drawing, and a 1-year service contract is included. To enter, travelers can book their ride online at www.teddyslimo.com or call 800.88.TEDDY (800.888.3339). When the ride is completed, the passenger will automatically be entered in the drawing. Teddy’s, named for the second year in a row to the Inc. magazine list of the 5000 fastest-growing companies in America, was one of several companies selected for a slide show presentation featuring remarkable “green” initiatives, which will be screened at the Inc. 500 | Inc. 5000 Conference September 18-20 in Washington, D.C. “This summer we successfully rolled out our first hybrid chauffeured sedan, a milestone in Teddy’s ‘Travel Green’ commitment to replace part of our fleet with energy-efficient hybrid models,” noted Charles Wisniewski, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The 2008 Lexus RX400h, the world's first luxury utility hybrid, provides 50% better fuel ratings and 70% fewer smog-forming emissions than its conventional counterparts. It comfortably seats up to three passengers, and its reclining rear seats offer even more legroom than the Lincoln Town Car,” he remarked. Teddy’s honored the hybrid sedan’s first four chauffeured passengers with donations in their names to Rainforest Alliance's Adopt-a-Rainforest campaign. These donations support the purchase and sustainable management of tropical forest lands, Mr. Wisniewski said. “As responsible corporate citizens, Teddy’s is continually looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint and provide ‘Travel Green’ ground transportation for our discerning clientele,” Mr. Wisniewski observed. “Three years ago, we incorporated technology to monitor and manage fleet engine idling times that has succeeded in reducing idling by two-thirds. We’ve passed along the cost savings to our customers, by keeping base executive sedan fares the same since 2004,” he stated. “All of our vehicles have been equipped with GPS navigation devices since 2005, and Teddy’s recently added traffic receivers that integrate with the GPS. Drivers are alerted to upcoming traffic congestion and advised of the most efficient route, which conserves fuel and saves time for our clients,” he said. Teddy’s incorporates green technology in managing its business operations, as well. More than 98% of its invoicing is paperless, and electricity for its office is sourced from sustainable suppliers, Mr. Wisniewski said. Founded in 1932, Teddy’s Transportation System, Inc. is one of the top 50 ground transportation companies in the U.S. today. Teddy’s has redefined “professional transportation solutions” by forging a strategic network of premium global partnerships and utilizing innovative technology that provides corporate purchasers, event planners and travelers with access to immediate, real-time information. Teddy’s commitment to excellence ensures reliability, efficiency and comfort, which translates into the most productive mode of transportation available, as well as value for its clients. Sales growth earned Teddy’s a place on Inc. magazine’s list of America’s Fastest Growing Companies in 2007 and again in 2008. In 2007 Teddy’s ranked as a Finalist in Limo Digest’s Operator of the Year competition and was honored as one of the top 3 large fleet operators nationwide; Teddy’s was also recognized as a Finalist in the 2007 Connecticut Family Business of the Year competition.
