We thank TeleTrips for their generous contribution towards this project. To enhance your telework program at your workplace, contact TeleTrips for more information. You can still view 2009 Commuter Challenge reports by clicking on Results or Login as an administrator.  Commuter Challenge is a national program and friendly competition between communities and workplaces that encourages Canadians to walk, cycle, ride-share/carpool, tele-work or take transit instead of driving to work alone. Leading up to the event workplaces pre-register and during the week, employees record their commuting behavour on-line to determine which cities and workplaces have the highest percent of healthy commuters. Canadians are able to see how their healthier commutes affect greenhouse gas reductions, calories burned, kilometers and dollars saved.
Don't miss out on the fun for 2010 and the opportunity to collect valuable base line Commuter data for your workplace or municipality. We encourage you to make a difference by giving your car some time off throughout the year!  This year the Commuter Challenge is proud to support the WORKshift program. WORKshift is a Calgary regional initiative to promote, educate and accelerate the adoption of telework in the business community.
