It's been a great summer, and we don't want to rush things, but...we *are* already looking forward to fall and the 2018 Go-Tober Challenge! The challenge involves getting businesses across the metro area to encourage their employees to try a different way of getting to work at least once a week during the month of October. Take a carpool, start a vanpool, bus, bike...we've even seen people who rode their horse to work during Go-Tober! It's fun and friendly, and a great way to look a different way of commuting.

Back to school doesn't have to mean back to traffic this year. Let Schoolpool help you find or form a carpool with other families in your area. Our award-winning Schoolpool program uses a secure online platform to match campus families for carpooling or walk and bike buddies. Share the responsibility of getting kids to and from school, cut down on drop-off and pickup traffic and enjoy a bit more flexibility. Introduce the next generation of commuters to sustainable transportation!

Residents in the metro area enjoyed a greener two-wheeled commute as an estimated 35,277 riders traveled 623,705 miles – or 25 times around planet Earth -- on Wednesday, June 27 for the region’s Bike to Work Day.

The Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) recognized four Way to Go Champions during DRCOG’s annual awards celebration. Way to Go Champions are individuals or organizations that demonstrate leadership in promoting or advocating commute options other than driving alone.
