RIDE Solutions is hosting the Clean Commute Challenge and Bike Month during the entire month of May.
Join area residents and businesses in a number of fun events to promote the use of alternative transportation - biking, walking, public transit, and carpooling - and bicycle awareness.
Participants are eligible for great prizes – bicycle gear and local gift certificates – drawings made weekly throughout May.
Go to ridesolutions.org to:
1. Register for the Clean Commute Challenge – Pledge, as an individual or as a group (company departments, social club, etc.), to access your work using a clean commute mode – walk, bike, carpool, take transit – at least once during May.
We will also have prizes to the individual or team who log the most commute trips during May.
