Commuter Challenge is a national program that encourages Canadians to walk, cycle, take transit, carpool or tele-work instead of driving alone to work. The Challenge supports workplaces as they encourage their employees to leave their cars at home for their personal health, the health of their communities and the health of the environment. Individual Canadians can participate too.

In 2007, 38,784 Canadians in over 170 communities and 1,757 workplaces gave a voice to their sustainable transportation choices by registering with the Commuter Challenge. See the full results for the 2007 Commuter Challenge here.

The program is based on a friendly competition between workplaces and communities across Canada to see which has the highest percentage participation rates during the week.

By registering participation online, Canadians are able to see the results of their healthier commutes with respect to greenhouse gases reductions calculated by taking into account kilometers not traveled and leaving your car at home.
