Points Goals and How to Win

Here's a run down of how points and goals help you win the Challenge

Points

For every day that you log a sustainable commute in the Commuter Challenge, you will earn a point for your team.  Get one point, and you automatically win a free ice cream coupon to the Washtenaw Dairy.  This prize will be given to you at the end of the Challenge.  If you are a vegan or otherwise do not like Ice Cream, we can award you another prize instead. 

Goal

There is a Commuter Challenge Goal as part of the Challenge.  This goal is the number of days you think you can do a sustainable commute in May.  If you meet your goal, you will be entered into a drawing for fabulous prizes.

How Can our Organization Win the Commuter Challenge?

The organization with the highest average points per employee in their organizational category wins a prize!  Click here for a listing of prizes.

Average points are calculated by dividing the total points by the number of possible commutes for an organization.  We do this so that we can compare organizations that have different amounts of people in them and so that both full time and part time employees are accounted for. 

Both having lots of people participate and having people log many sustainable commutes will help your organization win the Challenge.  So you benefit from having a lot of participants and/or a couple of zealots!  If there is a tie for the most points, both will win!  To be considered a participant in the Commuter Challenge, you must have used a sustainable mode of transportation for your commute at least once during the month of May.
