The Commuter Challenge encourages community members to choose sustainable transportation (such as walking, biking, carpooling, vanpooling, and using public transit) for travel to and from work. Workplaces with the most co-workers using alternative transportation at least once during the challenge will win a catered lunch or pre-shift meal for their workplace and other prizes. 

Best Challenge in Years!

Engagement for the 2025 Commuter Challenge exceeded recent years’ achievements! 

We are pleased to announce that 644 people logged 12,356 sustainable commutes during this year’s Commuter Challenge, which ran from May 1 – May 31. The challenge inspired commuters travelling to and within the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti areas to choose sustainable transportation options, such as walking, biking, carpooling, or taking the bus, to get to work. 

The Conquer the Cold challenge ran January 20 – February 20. During this time, 375 participants recorded 12,949 trips covering 40,188 miles without driving alone. Using alternative transportation for these trips saved participants from having to purchase an estimated 3,031 gallons of gas.
