What is a “Clean Commute”?Clean commutes include trips made via bus, bike, walking, carpooling, or vanpooling. Anything other than driving alone! All challenge participants may log every one-way commute they take, with no daily limit on the number of clean commutes one can log. (For example, your commute to work = 1 commute, and your commute back home = 1 commute. For a total of 2 commutes.)
