Contest updates
Each Friday afternoon, a RideShare staff member will email a weekly update to all employer administrators for the Green Commute Challenge. This update will include a list of weekly prize winners, a tally of team points in each size category, a summary of miles and emissions reduced to date, and an educational factoid related to alternative transportation and air quality.
We encourage you to relay this information to your employees to keep them engaged in the contest. As an alternative, we would be happy to email the weekly update directly to your team members.
The Green Commute Challenge results page and the RideShare Facebook page will also be updated on a weekly basis.
Recognition
Employers will be recognized for their participation in the Green Commute Challenge in media releases and on our website. Team point totals will be listed online.
Throughout the challenge, the top 10 teams will be listed on each person's Commute Challenge page. The top 10 will be determined by the ratio of the number of points to the number of team members.
Have questions? Email us or call 816-842-7433.
