The 2012 Commuter Challenge is Here
It’s easy! Between April 1 and June 30, pledge to take one trip by bus or train, bicycle, carpool, or walking, instead of driving alone. Teleworking counts, too! Those who take the Commuter Challenge are entered into a drawing for great prizes, including netbooks, Kindles and Kindle Fires. Plus, you’ll benefit in other ways:
Healthier Environment

Healthier Finances
Save money on fuel, insurance and maintenance costs when you drive less often.
Healthier You
It’s a fact, Active transportation choices like bicycling, walking or riding the bus or train get you closer to the 30 minutes of physical activity recommended for a healthy heart. Plus, it’s a great stress reducer.
