Winter Commute Month

Thank you for participating in Winter Commute Month this February!

Throughout the month, commuters across our region embraced winter travel and demonstrated how sustainable transportation can make a positive impact, even during the coldest season. By logging trips, trying new commuting options, and participating in educational webinars, you helped reduce emissions, ease congestion, and support healthier, more sustainable communities. Participants who logged their sustainable trips through the Smart Commute Tool were entered for a chance to WIN one of several Shop Local gift cards, while helping track the collective impact of sustainable commuting across the region.
