From Commute PA
This April, the fate of the planet (and your commute) is in your hands. In honor of Earth Day, Commute PA is officially launching the Earth-a-palooza challenge, inviting residents to stop driving alone and embrace their commute superpower.
By opting for sustainable travel methods, participants not only cushion the blow of rising gas prices to keep money in their pockets but also enter for a chance to be recognized as an “Ultimate Hero” with a major reward.
The mission: Become an ultimate hero
To qualify for the title of ultimate hero, commuters must log at least four trips during the month of April using any of the following “superpower” modes:
- Carpool and vanpool: Harness the power of collective, efficient travel.
- Transit: Utilize the power of high-capacity efficiency.
- Bike and walk: Embrace the incredible power of human motion.
- Telecommute: Master the power of “staying put” to save time and emissions.
The reward
Doing good for the Earth has its perks. At the end of the month, four lucky ultimate heroes will be randomly selected to win a $100 Tango Gift Card.
“Every trip logged is a victory,” said Matt Boyer, Commute PA Executive Director. “We want to show the community you don’t need a cape to be a hero, you just need a better way to get around. Whether you’re sharing a ride or working from your home office, you’re making a measurable difference.”
