about the challenge

Want your employees to be healthy and happy?

Want to have fun, create a buzz around the water cooler, do some team building?

YES? Then the 2013 Business Commute Challenge is perfect for your organization!

What is it about?

• It’s about exploring active/healthy transportation options.
• It’s about driving less and saving money.
• It’s a chance to win great prizes.
• It’s about the fun factor!

The Business Commute Challenge (BCC) is an annual week-long, friendly competition amongst local area Eugene-Springfield businesses to see who can save the most non-drive alone trips in one week! (based on a formula) It's where employers and workplace teams join forces to turn the daily commute into a transportation adventure. Walk. Bike. Bus. Pool. Click.

Why join the Challenge?  

“… it was a blast! What a great event … great awards and especially great people. Thanks so much for ….. pulling this together and keeping everyone engaged throughout the week. We take this stuff seriously… not only to win each year… but to commit to being better stewards all year long. I’m thankful that we live in a community that shares the same values and this event brings us all together. Keep up the great work!” Kelley

Last year, more than 2,151 local employees representing 107 business teams took the Challenge. In just one week, the BCC participants reduced single -person car travel by 68,784 miles, reducing 55,695 pounds of carbon dioxide, and saving approximately $13,241* at today’s gas prices! That’s money that stays in their pocket and in our community. And that means a healthier planet. How cool is that?

Think outside the car and join the adventure!
