Congratulations Winners & Participants of the 2020 Commuter Challenge!

      Thank you and congratulations to all our employers and commuters who participated in the goDCgo Commuter Challenge! Participating organizations included American College of Cardiology, the American Transportation Association, Ballard Spahr LLP, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), So Others Might Eat (SOME), Virtual Enterprise Architects, and Washington Gas. We hope everyone enjoyed the competition and was inspired to turn this challenge into a forever lifestyle.

      Thanks to your efforts, we’ve collectively logged over 5,358 clean trips, burned 400,000 calories, saved 19.6 tons of carbon emissions (CO2), and reduced 59,124 SOV miles during the month of September. This just goes to show that making the choice to walk, bike, telework, or take public transit even one day a week can help make DC a greener city. YOU have the power to make a difference!
