Giddy up Missoula! Grab your partners and Get Back on the Saddle for the 2024 Commuter Challenge! The goal is to see whose employees can bus, bike, walk, carpool and vanpool the MOST over a 2-week period - AND to get every single person at your workplace to try
a sustainable commute at least one time! So round up your co-workers, grab your cowboy boots and get ready for a showdown in the name of sustainable transportation.
Have questions about the challenge? We'd be happy to help. Reach out to us via email mim@missoulainmotion.com
or call 406-552-6675.
Winning as a team:
To even out the competition, teams are divided into categories based on size. If you are the ONLY team in your category to achieve All-Star status (every single person at your workplace logs a sustainable commute) then you WIN. If multiple teams achieve All-Star status, the winner is decided by the leader boards. The winning team gets a pizza party!

BEST SOCIAL MEDIA
Some teams go above and beyond sharing the benefits of sustainable commuting, encouraging each other to try sustainable modes, and getting their coworkers excited about the Commuter Challenge.

FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a commute?
The Commuter Challenge focuses specifically on your daily travel to and from your workplace. While we strongly encourage using sustainable travel modes throughout the day to run errands, grab lunch, etc. these additional trips will NOT be counted in this particular challenge. These trips should be logged as "errands" on Way to Go! Missoula.
What is a sustainable commute?
Any mode other than driving alone (walk, bike, bus, carpool, vanpool, telecommute, skateboard, rollerblade, etc.)
What counts as a carpool?
By using fewer cars to carry more people, carpool reduces traffic and lowers emissions. In order for your commute to count as a carpool, the other people in the vehicle must be eligible drivers (ie. 16 years or older with a valid driver's license.) and the car must remain at its final destination. When questioning carpool eligibility, ask yourself - Am I taking a car off the road that would otherwise be contributing to traffic and co2 emissions?
Do electric vehicles count as a sustainable mode?
Not in this challenge. The goal of the Commuter Challenge is to both reduce emissions AND mitigate traffic congestion. Driving an electric vehicle alone does not count toward the challenge, but carpooling in an electric vehicle does!
