Ditch the Traffic, Win Big: The Commute Smart Northwest Challenge!
Tired of the daily grind and staring at brake lights? It’s time to turn your morning commute into a major win. We are excited to officially kick off the Commute Smart Northwest campaign: "A Smart Trip a Day Keeps the Congestion Away!"
By choosing a "Smart Trip" instead of driving alone, you’re doing more than just saving gas—you’re clearing the air and reclaiming your peace of mind.
What is a "Smart Trip"?
You don’t have to bike 20 miles to participate. Any of these counts as a win for the environment (and your wallet):
- Walking or Biking
- Carpooling or STA Rideshare
- Taking the Bus
- Teleworking from home
- Working a Compressed Schedule (e.g., 4/10s)
The Best Part: You Could Win Serious Prizes!
We’re giving away over 50 prizes just for changing how you get to work. Check out what’s up for grabs:
| Prize Level | Reward | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Grand Prize | $500 Gift Card (1 Winner) | 5+ trips/month; log by May 8th |
