Sustainable transportation rewarded with Spring team challenge
Hosted by the Bozeman Commuter Project, the 2022 GoGallatin Commuter Challenge will run May 2nd–20th. This friendly competition between organizations and businesses in the Bozeman area challenges locals to commute to and from work by biking, walking, riding the bus, and carpooling. The annual event encourages active, sustainable, and efficient means of transportation.
Bozeman Commuter Project is all about promoting active, sustainable, and healthy forms of transportation to work, play, for errands, and just to get outside. Biking, walking, running and rolling (skateboard, rollerblades, scooters) are all acceptable forms of transport.
This year’s Challenge kicks off with an opening day coffee break at all three Café M locations in Gallatin Valley. Stop by for free coffee and info on how to get involved throughout May. The Challenge finishes on Bike to Work Day, May 20th.
As always, this is a team challenge, but individuals may still participate. Create a solo account or join a team through the event website, log your trips, and win prizes. Team standings are determined by the number of trips logged by ALL enrolled team members.
What counts as a “trip”? A one-way journey to or from work, the grocery store or other utilitarian trip made by bike, bus, foot, carpool, or other sustainable transportation method. If you bike both to work and home, that counts as two trips. Maximum number of trips that can be logged is 6 per day using Strava, Waze or the Commute Tracker app.
