Champion Commuter

Dirk Wiggers - Inland Imaging Business Associates

Dirk is a System Engineer for Inland Imaging Business Associates. Throughout the last 22 years, Dirk has used nearly every commute option available! He’s walked, carpooled, ridden the bus, rode his bike, worked a compressed work schedule, and recently is now able to work from home 4 days a week.

His stats are amazing! With a 52-mile round-trip commute, Dirk’s saved almost 165,000 miles from our roads and saved nearly $47,000 in commute costs!!!

He chooses commute options because he cares deeply about protecting the environment, improving community health, staying active, and using his time and resources wisely—turning everyday travel into a way to make a positive difference.

Although some may feel busy schedules, unpredictable weather, and other barriers, Dirk feels that through planning, persistence, and creativity, he turns potential obstacles into opportunities to choose a better way to travel.

His well-rounded commitment to riding the bus, teleworking, carpooling, active commuting, and compressed schedules exemplifies the very best of commute-smart behavior, making a significant difference for both the environment and their community.

ETC, Robin Parse says, “Dirk sets the standard for what smart commuting can look like. By riding the bus and teleworking, he leads by example and helps promote our commute program in the most effective way—by showing others how achievable and impactful these choices can be”.

Congratulations Dirk!
