Stickers are Here!

Ecopass Stickers have arrived! If your block
qualified for passes this year, you should have
received a letter on your door this weekend with
instructions about sticker distribution. If
you’ve missed placed that letter, you can
download another copy from
www.ecopass.blogspot.com

For passholders in District 2, which is WEST of
Martin Park, you can pick up your stickers at
Camille Hook’s house (40 S 41st St) today
(Thursday) from 3-4:15pm and 5-8pm and
Friday before 7:45am if you call first, or
11am-2:30pm on a drop-by basis.
If you cannot make these times, please call for
an appointment. Camille will be out of town this
weekend, so contact her as soon as possible if
you need to receive your pass before then.


For passholders in District 3, which is EAST of
Martin Park, you can pick up your stickers from
Alia Ghandour’s house (270 South 39th St) today
(Thursday) from 3-4pm, or 9:30-10pm, Friday from
7:30 -8:30am, Saturday from 8:30-10 am, or by
appointment this weekend.

Notice that I didn’t include our telephone
numbers in this message. That’s because we hope
that you’ll think before you call! If you
*really* need to reach us, our numbers are in the
instruction letter.

IMPORTANT: If you are a new passholder, please
download and fill out the attached authorization
form to be signed when you pick up your sticker.


Another note, beyond the city-wide retailers that
participate in the Eco Passs Xtra discount
program, our local favorites Pettyjohns Liquor &
Wine and Baseline Liquor are both offering a
regular 10% discount to Martin Acres passholders
on any non-sale items. And, that includes last
year’s passholders, so even if your block didn’t
qualify this year, you can still use your pass as
a discount card.

Thanks & we look forward to seeing you on the
bus!

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


CONTACT INFORMATION: 2 Districts qualified. PLEASE note your district before you call.

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!
