POCONO RACEWAY & DESTINATION POCONO TEAM UP AGAIN IN 2010
Fan Buses Take Drivers and Their Vehicles
Off the Roads on Race Weekends
To help reduce the environmental impact created by the thousands of NASCAR fans that travel in for the Pocono 500 & the Pennsylvania 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races each summer, Pocono Raceway is thinking “green” again this year by encouraging race fans to park their cars and ride in on special buses. By participating in this program, fans can reduce the effect of their presence on local roadways and enjoy a safer travel option.
The buses are available to all fans, local residents and visitors alike. A quick arrival at the track is ensured by specially-designated bus lanes and the help of Sheriff’s department escorts. As a special treat for using this service, the arrival concludes with a lap around “the Tricky Triangle.”
Pocono Raceway, along with Martz Trailways and Destination Pocono, began this program two years ago. Last year’s four pick-up locations have exploded to eleven, covering the entire four-county Pocono region and New York City. This year, race fans can park and ride
from one of the following locations: Wilkes-Barre, Montage Mountain, Downtown Scranton, Delaware Water Gap, Mount Pocono, Tannersville, Milford, Greentown/Hawley, Hazleton and White Haven. Seats are available at $29.99 per rider locally, and $69.99 from New York City.
Pocono Raceway is encouraging fans to contact Destination Pocono for their complete race planning. Area hotels are also partnering with Destination Pocono by offering packages that include rooms, race tickets, upgrades and bus seats. This means that fans can receive complete, one-stop race planning service when gearing up for summer’s race season. Booking is now available for race packages as well as the bus service.
As the premier destination management concierge of the Pocono region, Destination Pocono is recognized by The Pocono Mountains and Lackawanna County visitor bureaus and has over 90 partners that work with the company. As such, Destination Pocono is the prime contact for booking corporate meetings, social and family events, vacations and day trips in the beautiful Pocono Mountains.
Destination Pocono’s “Going Green” division has also partnered with Martz Trailways to work with individuals and trip planners to arrange outings and day trips throughout the Pocono Mountains. Day trips from NYC have proved to be quite successful and offer a new clientele an easy way to enjoy the Poconos.
