Qualified Block Members!

January 13, 2007


Dear Qualified EcoPass Household,


We’re pleased to report that your block qualified for a 2007 EcoPass! RTD has just informed us that our stickers will be mailed during week of January 15th. Once they arrive we will begin distribution immediately.


We apologize for the delay in getting you your 2007 sticker. However, we would also like to emphasize that the deadline to submit Ecopass money was December 2nd, and we only received enough money to qualify the districts December 15th. This 2 week delay coupled with holiday’s made for our current situation. We hope that this experience will encourage neighbors to submit payment promptly next year.


Your 2006 Ecopass is valid until January 15th.


WHAT TO DO FROM HERE:

When the stickers arrive we will announce it via three lines of communication:

ONLINE: a message at http://ecopass.blogspot.com
PHONE: a message on the Eco Pass answering service at (303) 496-0055
MANAlist: broadcast message on the neighborhood discussion elist. If you’re not on this, you can subscribe by sending your e-address to manalist@flatiron.com, write "subscribe" in the subject heading. .


Authorization Forms, EcoPass “Validation” and “EcoPass Xtra” stickers will be distributed as listed below. You can look up EcoPass Xtra discounts at www.goboulder.net

2 ways to get an EcoPass ID if you don’t already have one:

IMPORTANT: You MUST have an “Authorization Form”, which you can download from the Go Boulder website (www.goboulder.net), and this form MUST be signed by an Eco Pass Coordinator. Please note that we can only sign these forms when we receive the 2007 stickers:

Bring a valid driver’s license or bill/statement with your name and address on it to:
DOWNTOWN BOULDER: 1400 Walnut Street (RTD bus terminal) Photos are taken Mondays 12pm and 4pm
DOWNTOWN DENVER: 1600 Blake Street (RTD Administrative Offices) Photos are taken Tuesdays from 10am-1pm and Thursdays from 12pm-3pm.
DIA: Photos are taken Wednesdays between 12:30pm – 1:45pm.


2. Email a digital picture to RTD and fax an authorization form:

To take a digital photo, hold a plaque in front just below shoulder level with your name on it so as to avoid mismatching names and pictures. Stand in front of a light to medium blue background, and take the picture with 6-8 inches of space surrounding your head.
Email mail the photo (file name must be 8 or less characters with no spaces) as a jpg file to Ecopass@RTD-Denver.com. In the body of the message, include your first and last name, street address, and indicate that you live in Martin Acres.
Fax your authorization form to John Bartiromo at 303-299-2600 and indicate that photo is arriving via email.


Again, we apologize for the delays this year and thank you your patience & participation. Enjoy your pass!
