Commuter Challenge

Go from point A to B while reducing your C – carbon emissions! Commit to one week of commuting to and from campus using modes of transportation with lesser environmental impact.

The Commuter Challenge returns during Environment Week June 1-5, 2026

During the Challenge, leave your car at home and choose a mode of transportation with lesser impact on the environment, such as biking, walking, rollerblading, carpooling or taking public transit.

You’ll not only be reducing your carbon footprint and the number of single-occupant vehicles on the road, but you could also use your commute time for something more rewarding. A bike ride doubles as a cardio workout, a bus or train ride offers you a chance to catch up on some reading and carpooling allows you the opportunity to build friendships with your colleagues.

Already take these modes of transportation? You can still register! You may even challenge yourself to go further. For example, if you take the bus, try biking, walking or rolling instead.

Sign up to be notified when registration opens
