Seattleā€™s Department of Transportation is encouraging people to walk, bike or ride public transit in July and August to get in shape, reduce greenhouse gases, and save money on gas and car repairs.
Enter the Walk Bike Ride Challenge, switch at leastĀ two car trips per week to walking, biking or riding transit, and be entered to win one of the following:

  • Electric bike from e-Moto
  • Apple iPad
  • Pan Pacific Hotel stay
  • Zipcar $250 gift card
  • REI $100 gift card
  • Nordstromā€™s $100 gift card (supplied by Commute Seattle)
  • $100 gift card good at seven farmersā€™ markets

ā€œSummer is a great time to try walking, biking or riding transit to work, to get to know your neighborhood and to start lifetime habits that keep you healthy,ā€ Seattle City Councilmember Tom Rasmussen said in a press release.

Those entering the challenge get weekly emails with tips on walking, biking and riding and can track their individual progress and the programā€™s collective impact online. The more trips one reports, the higher the chance they have of winning.
The WBR Challenge is part of the Seattle Department of Transportationā€™s Way to Go, Seattle! program. It encourages people to walk, bike, ride transit and carpool more by offering incentives, tools and information and runs on a two month cycle. The current cycle is for July and August.
