According to kgw of Oregon and SW Washington, City Center Parking in Portland is partnering with the Oregon Environmental Council to offer discounts to hybrid car drivers. Like HOV perks in California, these discounts are only being offered to those hybrids that are above and beyond, i.e. they get over 35 mpg.
The discount is being called the Drive Green, Save Green campaign.
Hybrid car owners can save up to $15 monthly on their parking fees or about $180 a year. About 200 people have already signed up for the discount, meaning the garage has already lost out on $36,000.
As Greg Goodman, president of City Center Parking puts it, "No, it's not chump change, but in the scope of things it's just the right thing to do."
