Green Path Transfers Hits 50 Partners!

June 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Green Path Transfers, the world’s first global ecologically friendly transfer service, is now a true leader in the field of carbon reduction. Green Path Transfers vision (http://www.thetravelword.com/2011/04/15/one-good-green-path-to-reducing-the-carbon-footprint-of-travel/) of competitively priced local transfer operators all around the world committed to environmental sustainability surpassed 50 destinations in more than 30 countries (http://www.greenpathtransfers.com/destinations).

Far from content to stop there, Green Path Transfers will continue to add scores more partners in the weeks and months ahead with the goal of being operational in 200 destinations just 12 months since the company was launched in March 2011 (http://www.thetravelword.com/2011/03/07/green-path-transfers-launches-new-global-eco-friendly-airport-transfer-service/).

A Quality Alternative

As a new a new, global, eco-friendly airport transfer and ground transportation network, Green Path Transfers unifies existing local service-minded businesses around a goal to go ‘green’ (http://www.greenpathtransfers.com/goinggreen) and then plans to use that collective presence to raise the profile of earth-conscious transfer options worldwide.

By working with carefully selected partners that maintain top-quality fleets and assure comfort, quality and competency, Green Path Transfers also leaves tread marks on the notion that low-carbon-emissions vehicles running on alternative-fuel engine systems can’t deliver a level of price and service comparable with that of non-green options.

Clean Technology

Some of the green technology currently in use by Green Path Transfers partners includes:

* vehicles powered by recycled vegetable oil, such as those in service in Portland, Oregon (http://www.thetravelword.com/2010/11/30/shuttling-the-eco...) and San Diego, California (http://www.thetravelword.com/2011/02/22/driving-green-in-...);

* engines running on renewable, non-toxic and all-natural fuels like biodiesel and ethanol, such as available in Vail Valley, Colorado (http://www.thetravelword.com/2010/12/21/going-green-in-colorado%E2%80%99s-vail-valley/), in Denver, Colorado (http://www.thetravelword.com/2011/03/11/keeping-transportation-green-and-down-to-earth-in-mile-high-denver-colorado/), and in Costa Rica (http://www.thetravelword.com/2011/02/03/go-across-costa-rica-the-greener-way-with-il-viaggio-travel/);

* Ultra-Low and Super Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicles (ULEVs and SULEVs) and alternative-fuel cars using compressed natural gas (CNG), as is the case with taxis within cities like Los Angeles, California (http://www.thetravelword.com/2011/01/06/naturalimo-is-the-natural-choice-for-green-travel-in-los-angeles/);

* hybrids, which are in use throughout important tourist destinations such as Burlington, Vermont (http://www.thetravelword.com/2011/05/18/green-rides-with-green-cabs-vt-burlington-vermont/), Toronto, Canada (http://www.thetravelword.com/2010/12/29/going-green-with-torontos-eco-taxi/), and Barcelona, Spain (http://www.thetravelword.com/2011/04/29/buen-viaje-the-green-way-with-taxi-ecologico-in-barcelona/).
