Silver™ Program / Your
Participation
A-1 Limousine has partnered with CarbonFund.org to create and
establish an industry leading
carbon use / offset program for
our entire fleet to attain a
true carbon neutral position.

“on-growing” green initiative
program. Currently we support
green initiatives in many ways
including recycling of
consumable products, utilization
of efficient fuels and synthetic
oils, energy efficient lighting
and electrical products, share
rides for customers, and larger
vehicles that accommodate 4 to
56 people to reduce fuel,
improve carbon use / offsets,
reduce use of paper and
resources and an industry
leading ‘Ride Silver™ Program’.

2009

623.8275 tons of Carbon offsets
