News to Go

On June 24, 2015, more than 30,000 people in the Denver-Boulder metro area will leave their cars at home, hop on their bikes and pedal to work. Celebrated annually on the fourth Wednesday of June, the region’s Bike to Work Day has been around for more than 25 years. More than just a clean and healthy way to get to work . . .

Welcome!

Welcome to the first edition of the new Way to Go quarterly newsletter! As a program of the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), a major part of Way
to Go’s mission is to reduce vehicle miles traveled by single-occupant vehicles (SOVs). That, in turn, reduces traffic congestion and improves our air quality. Pretty
important stuff, right?
