Sask Commuter Challenge

How are you getting there? Roadmap Saskatoon and Retire Your Ride are challenging commuters to take sustainable transportation during the National Commuter Challenge.

The goal of The Commuter Challenge is to encourage Canadians to leave their car at home and walk, cycle, take transit, carpool (ride share) or tele-work instead of driving to work alone.




This National challenge is a friendly competition between communities and workplaces to see which region or workplace has the highest percent of healthy commuters during the week long event. Canadians are encouraged to walk, cycle, ride-share/carpool, tele-work or take transit instead of driving to work alone.

About Road Map Saskatoon -- www.roadmap2020.ca
Road Map Saskatoon began in 2004 as a project that was a partnership of the Meewasin Valley Authority (MVA), the Saskatchewan Environmental Society (SES), and the City of Saskatoon's Environmental Advisory Committee (SEAC). Since June 2004, Road Map Saskatoon has been building community awareness of the environmental, social and economic benefits of sustainable practices and working to develop a multi-sector network of community leaders interested in building a more sustainable Saskatoon for the future.

About Retire Your Ride -- retireyourride.ca
