What is Active Commute Week?

Active Commute Week is a community-wide initiative to encourage the widespread use of alternative modes of transportation. Whether you’re biking to work, riding the bus to the grocery store, or carpooling to lunch—you can log your “green trips” and see how much you’re reducing your carbon footprint in Grand Rapids! Go head-to-head with your friends, family, and coworkers in a friendly competition where everyone wins. Help us bring awareness to alternative modes of transport in this fun and educational week.
