Frequently Asked Questions

Do I register as one company or can I register as a location or smaller subset of the big company?
It is up to you. We encourage you to go with your Company as a whole, but if your Office, or your Plant is your only real group here locally then use that. If your business has different locations and you think competing against the other locations would be fun then you can use that. We are leaving it open to you.

I rode my bike to the bus, how do I count this in the report? Or I walked to get to the Vanpool?
If you are walking or biking to get to the bus, then count this as a bus trip. If you are walking or biking a substantial distance then feel free to average your reports to indicate this. For Example: If you walk 1 mile to get to the bus and the bus continues another 4 miles to get you to work, and you do this all week. Then report 1 day as biking and 4 days as busing. This will keep the stats pretty accurate. Otherwise, just report for your primary mode.

The Business Commute Challenge is a pretty simple incentive program to try to get a few more people to try alternate means to get to work -- and reward the folks that already do.

By the very nature of the bus, all trips that involve the bus involve another type of transportation. We are not trying to create a comprehensive commute log but we are really just trying to identify the number of commutes that are not in a single occupant motor vehicle. The rest is just a way to have an estimate of the number of miles saved when employees chose to leave their car at home. It really does make a substantial impact.

I take lots of work trips duing the day, can I get credit for these?
The BCC is a simple program and we want to keep it that way. When reporting, you can edit your mileage on the second screen before you submit your commute. Now you won't be able to report all your trips, but what ever your primary mode is and the total mileage can be recorded.

The Business Commute Challenge is designed to help you chose to get to work by means other than driving by yourself to work. The mode and miles are just to help give an overall estimate of the impact we all can make when we work together.

All my employees do not have internet access?
We understand that everyone is not able to report online. We do have a admin capacity for Coordinators to enter and report for their employees, but we also have a paper reporting form for groups that have that need.

You can download the Paper Reporting Form here.

Is there a Deadline for me to report?
Yes, we need all the online reports by Midnight on the 15th, and for those reporting on paper, we need those faxed to the office by 5pm on Friday the 15th. The fax number is 682-5032.
