February Five Challenge is a Big Success!



The sweet scent of roses drifting through the air from a Valentine’s bouquet. The delicious aroma of a steamy hot chocolate swirling in your mug. Is it possible that this year you noticed everything smelled better in February? If you did, it may not have been just your imagination. It could have been because the air was a little bit cleaner. 

TransAction’s February Five Commuter Challenge resulted in the removal of 22,272 pounds of pollutants from the environment. Participants each logged at least five “green” commutes in the Commute Calendar on TransAction’s eCommuter.org site. Modes that qualified included carpooling, vanpooling, biking, riding in a shuttle, taking public transportation, or telecommuting. Every commuter who took 5 eligible trips got a $5 gift card and earned a new badge for their commuting profile.


Cleaner air wasn’t the only impact of the contest. It resulted in a cost savings of $14,924 and a fuel savings of 1,148 gallons. The next challenge for commuters --see if you can keep it going! Because it won’t be long before the weather warms up and you will want to get a good whiff of that freshly cut grass.
