FEE

The Commuter Challenge workplace participation fee is still only $1.00/ employee (i.e. 300 employees = $300). Your support allows us to continue to host and maintain the National Commuter Challenge program and software. A minimum fee of $50 applies to smaller workplaces.

Big thanks to Green Action Centre and their sponsors for covering the cost of the program for all towns and cities in Manitoba.

Thanks to The Town of Banff for promoting the program to workplaces in Banff.

Thanks to The Town of Moncton – Ville de Dieppe – Town of Riverview for promoting the program in their regions.
