MAYOR'S
ALTERNATIVE COMMUTE CHALLENGE
Thank you!
The Winter 2022-23 prize weeks have concluded, and we'd like to thank everyone that participated!
We continue to challenge community members to replace at least 1 trip per week with alternative transportation!
​
What is the "Mayor's Alternative Commute Challenge"?
​
​
Mayor Eric Mamula has challenged everyone in the community to replace at least ONE car trip each week, with an alternative form of transportation.
​
Q: What do you mean by alternative transportation? Alternative to what?
A: By alternative transportation we mean any alternative to a single-occupancy vehicle (SOV). By walking, biking, riding the bus, or even carpooling, you are utilizing alternative transportation that helps reduce traffic and is more sustainable for our environment.
​
​
Q: Why should I ditch my car and take alternative transportation?
A: Why not? Using alternative transportation typically leads to a healthier lifestyle, is better for the environment, and can save you money compared to the costs of owning/operating a personal vehicle. (Did you know AAA estimates the average cost to own/operate a personal vehicle is over $10,000/year?!)
​
​
Q: Can I win something?
A: We gave out over twenty $50 gift cards from local restaurants to random winners that submitted their alternative commutes over the the Winter 22-23 season That prize-period has concluded, but we are looking to offer a similar prize-period later this summer. We'll post the details here when it's ready to launch!
