Event Date: September 9-17, 2017 (occurs early-mid September annually)
Contact: Plan and register event here: https://driveelectricweek.org/resources.php
Notes and Recommendations: The Sierra Club makes it VERY easy to organize a Ride and Drive for National Drive Electric Week. Visit the link we provided for all the resources, sponsors, media materials, etc. to help you organize an event in the Rochester area this year. Hosting an event during NDEW is a good way to gain exposure, be it for a Ride and Drive or EV Rally. A centralized location along with good promotion is important for success.
Tier 2 Events
The host has previously held a Ride and Drive. Easy to plan and likely to have high attendance, but requires initial outreach by a ROC EV partner.
Workplace Ride and Drive
Event Date: Any time
Contact Carolyn Levine (clevine@electrificationcoalition.org) for event contacts.
Notes and Recommendations: Workplace Ride and Drives can be highly successful with the right business. This is a situation moving forward where the businesses could potentially offer significant organizational assistance.
