Commuter Challenge ‘17 set for month of May Springtime is here, meaning it’s time to sign up and recruit friends, family, and coworkers to participate in the 6th Annual Commuter Challenge! Running May 1st–31st, this friendly competition between local workplaces encourages people to be active in their commutes as a part of Bike Walk Bus Month. The more trips you and your co-workers can log on foot, by bike, or by public transit during May, the better your team will do!
The Challenge is open to anyone working in the greater Bozeman area. There is no cost to enter, and participants are eligible to win great prizes from some of Bozeman’s best local businesses. Join the challenge, get creative with your commute, support sustainability, and have fun!
Log on to www.mtcommuterchallenge.org/ to register, keep track of miles, and compete both statewide and locally. Bozeman Commuter Project at Western Transportation Institute is promoting Bike Walk Bus Month with events and activities throughout the month of May. Follow on Facebook and Twitter to keep tabs on local transportation issues and events.

The Project’s goals are to increase the convenience, benefits, safety, and incentives associated with taking the bus, car sharing, walking, biking, vanpooling, or any combination of those in your commute. As Bozeman’s population booms, Bozeman Commuter Project aims to encourage transportation options that are economically efficient, environmentally sustainable, and make the best use of our surrounding spaces. •
