Get Ready for the Commuter Challenge


The Commuter Challenge kicks off on April 5 and runs through June 27. This event is sponsored by Metro Transit and encourages people to replace a trip you might normally drive for with one by foot, bike, bus or train. If that's old hat to you, take it a step further and challenge yourself by trying out carpooling, vanpooling or teleworking.

Replace just one car trip and you'll be entered into the Grand Prize drawing for REI gift cards, bike commuter packs, and Amazon Kindle and more!!

And, if you track your trips online for any week during the 12 week challenge, you could win a $50 Target card in the weekly prize drawings.

Then think about the Bike/Walk to Work Day on June 10. Biking or walking to work is a great way to save money, get exercise, and help reduce pollution and traffic congestion.

Join the movement and take the challenge!!
