Challenge complete! 

Commuter Challenge participants went above and beyond this year in finding sustainable ways to get to work! During the 2024 Commuter Challenge, which ran May 1 – 31, more than 450 people logged nearly 10,000 sustainable commutes. The challenge inspired people working in Ann Arbor to use sustainable transportation options to get to work, like walking, biking, carpooling, or taking the bus. 

Bravo to the 170 people who braved the Michigan winter to bike, walk, roll, carpool, or take the bus during Conquer the Cold 2024! Here are some of the highlights of the retro edition of the challenge:
