Previous Smart Commute Challenge Winners

Employees of these companies used alternative
transportation to get to work as often as they could during the
Smart Commute Challenge week in June. Travel modes
included walking, bicycling, riding the bus, carpooling,
telecommuting, and yes, canoeing.

Environmental Council (Small Company) and the MSU Library

Smart Commute '08 Challenge Winners
Mid-MEAC is pleased to announce the winners of this year’s
Smart Commute Company Challenge, which started May 19,
2008 and ended May 31, 2008. Companies competed in
different size categories, encouraging employees to use
walking, bicycling, carpooling, bus, vanpool, and
telecommuting rather than driving alone. A total of 1,159 trips
were logged in this year’s challenge--- pretty impressive
considering that most days of this year's challenge were cold
and rainy!!
