Join the thousands of Triangle commuters who do something good for the environment everyday by leaving their cars at home! Participation is easy. Visit www.SmartCommuteChallenge.org today and take the 2009 SmartCommute Challenge to ride the bus, bike, walk, carpool, vanpool, work from home or, new this year, carpool in an alternate fuel or hybrid vehicle! Pledge to take a smarter, greener commute at least once between Wednesday, April 15 and Saturday, May 30 and you could win fabulous prizes, including a commuter bike or laptop!

If you’re already a SmartCommuter, go greener! Take the SmartCommute Team Challenge and encourage at least five of your friends and co-workers to try a smarter commute. Together, we will reach our goal of signing up 12,000 Triangle commuters and students, reducing over 2.2 million pounds of carbon emissions during the challenge.  For more information about how to start a smarter commute, take the Challenge, or form a SmartCommute Team, visit www.SmartCommuteChallenge.org.
