Environment & Sustainability TAG: Safer Streets & Public Transit Fleets
Thurs, February 24, 3:30 - 5:00 pm
Join Thrive to learn more about how the San Mateo County Transportation sector is addressing climate change. What is the future of public transportation as more people return to commuting? We will address transit infrastructure including bicycle, pedestrian, and public transit options, charging and zero-emission transportation, and how transportation decisions affect low-income communities. Join the discussion with Silicon Valley Bike Coalition, SamTrans, Commute.org, Seamless Bay Area, Friends of Caltrain, Peninsula Clean Energy and more!
We invite you to join Thrive and the County of San Mateo Employee Wellness Team for another session in our virtual series: Wellness Wednesdays. These sessions are held on the second Wednesday of every other month. From self-massage to mindful art, to movement exercises to meditation, we’ll continue to explore a variety of ways that we can take care of ourselves for optimal health and well-being. Collaborative and engaging activities will help participants learn various techniques and healthy habits that can be immediately applied to daily life at and outside of work.
Our speakers throughout the series will include County Wellness Team members, behavioral health specialists, massage therapists, and art facilitators. We hope you and your team will join us.
Note: These sessions are not a replacement for professional guidance or counseling.
