Rideshare Month 2020 Commuter Team Challenge  Jan. 1 to May 31, 2100

Challenge Instructions / Rules

Welcome to the Commuter Challenge! The challenges highlight and encourage healthy and green travel modes: transit, bike, walk, carpool/vanpool or even teleworking!

Here’s how it works:

• Sign up or register to create an account
• Join your workplace or department’s team – if one doesn’t exist yet, create one!
• Log your sustainable trips daily.
• Watch your individual team standings rise while using a healthy way to travel!

The fine print:

• Team registration closes when the challenge ends.
  No new teams or team members will be accepted after the final date of the challenge
• The challenge period is posted on the main page.
• Your individual and team standings will be reset after the completion of a challenge.
• Once trip-tracking for a challenge is closed the winning teams will be recognized.
• Teams are ranked according to participation rate: this number is a weighted formula accounting for:
  • the total employees at the workplace (as reported by the team leader who started the team)
  • the number of registered teammates
  • The number of eligible trips logged during the challenge
  • Any bonus points you may have accumulated for new referrals, user actions or trips logged.
  • A winning team will have the highest participation rate in their category. Ties are possible.
• Any rewards offered are to be accepted as provided. The Commuter Challenge does not warranty or replace rewards. Rewards have no cash value.
