Join local participants as they take part in this annual, week-long challenge! Individuals, college campuses, high schools and businesses across the state will be participating by logging their “clean” commutes all week for the chance to win fantastic commuting prizes!
Each time an individual logs their commute, they will be entered for a chance to win prizes including bus passes, and Old Town Festival prize pack, pre-paid gas cards, BIGGBY Coffee gift certificates, prize packs, and more!
Colleges also have a chance to compete during the Challenge Week in an
effort to log the most alternative commutes as a campus. The campus able
to log the most clean commutes will be named the Cleanest Commuting
College in Michigan!
