[Travel_Policy-News] Enterprise Rent-a-Car Carbon Offset Program

[SMYTH Scott * SCD SARS]

Travel Coordinators,
Enterprise Rent a Car has initiated a car rental program to help the
environment.   Through Enterprise's carbon offset program, travelers are
now able to purchase a carbon offset for only $1.25 per car rental. This
program will fund certified offset projects that work to remove CO2 from
the atmosphere.  This is a "voluntary" program and state travelers are
under no obligation to purchase.  If you are interested, you may
purchase the carbon offset at the time of rental on the Enterprise Rent
a Car website, or at the time of car pick up at the Enterprise counter.
This program is not available for purchase through reservations on ResX.
For those who book cars through ResX, travelers still have the option to
purchase the carbon offset at the Enterprise counter.  In addition, this
program is not available to those agencies that use direct billing.   

If you decide to participate in this program, the $1.25 carbon offset
charge must be subtracted from your travel expense reimbursement claim.
Currently, this charge is not a reimbursable travel expense by the state
of Oregon. 

For every 100,000 customers who choose to participate, 30 million pounds
of carbon will be offset.
