The Green Streets Initiative is thrilled to announce the launch of the 2013 Walk/Ride Day Corporate Challenge!

Kicking off April 26, the 2013 Walk/Ride Day Corporate Challenge is a competition among Boston area employers to encourage alternative commuting habits just one day a month, over the course of seven months. The Challenge aligns with Green Streets' signature Walk/Ride Days when, on the last Friday of every month, individuals can check in at http://greenstreets.mapc.org to indicate they have used active, sustainable transportation and receive special incentives and recognition.

Each month, gogreenstreets.org will display a leader board of companies ranked according to the employer's percentage of participation. We’ll also raffle off a fabulous prize among participants from winning companies, including gift cards to area restaurants, stores, and more. Upon the Challenge's conclusion in October, the companies with the highest cumulative percentages of participation will be named Walk/Ride Day Corporate Challenge winners and will be honored with a special awards celebration.

Employers ready to sign up now can do so at http://gogreenstreets.org/sign-walkride-day-corporate-challenge.
