Cyclists on Trolley Trail in Kansas City

This free competition rewards those who choose sustainable transportation options like carpooling, biking or taking transit to work. We’re inviting you to do more than just log your trips. We’re inviting you to enjoy the journey.

Throughout the month of October, log your green work-related trips to earn points and get entered in weekly drawings for prizes from local businesses and makers. At the end of the challenge, grand prizes will be awarded on both the individual and team levels.  

By participating, you’re not just traveling from point A to point B. You’re connecting with your community, contributing to cleaner air and helping to plant seeds for a brighter tomorrow. Let’s embrace every mile we travel together.
