Kick off the Commuter Challenge with coffee, conversation, and community!

Join getDowntown and Ann Arbor SPARK, on behalf of the Green Business Challenge, for a morning coffee meetup on May 7 from 8:30 to 10am at Ann Arbor SPARK (330 E Liberty St) to launch the annual Commuter Challenge!

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.  

Challenge complete! 

Commuter Challenge participants went above and beyond this year in finding sustainable ways to get to work! During the 2024 Commuter Challenge, which ran May 1 – 31, more than 450 people logged nearly 10,000 sustainable commutes. The challenge inspired people working in Ann Arbor to use sustainable transportation options to get to work, like walking, biking, carpooling, or taking the bus. 

Bravo to the 170 people who braved the Michigan winter to bike, walk, roll, carpool, or take the bus during Conquer the Cold 2024! Here are some of the highlights of the retro edition of the challenge:
