2011 Commuter Challenge ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commuter Challenge is a business-to-business competition sponsored by Missoula In Motion. It is aimed at raising awareness and rewarding commuters who choose sustainable transportation for their work commute during Bike Walk Bus Week (BWBW). The 2011 Commuter Challenge will run from Sunday, May 1st through Saturday, May 7th. It is a way to try a new commute, get back to old habits or be rewarded for your everyday sustainable commute ritual.
It is the perfect time of year to give Missoula’s many sustainable transportation options a try and we’re glad you are part of it.
