Official Event
Kick off the Commuter Challenge with coffee, conversation, and community!
Join Ann Arbor SPARK, on behalf of the Green Business Challenge, for a morning coffee meetup on May 7 to launch the getDowntown program’s Annual Commuter Challenge!
Come enjoy coffee, a light breakfast, and great conversation about how the Commuter Challenge and the Green Business Challenge are helping Ann Arbor workplaces adopt more sustainable practices. Learn how you and your organization can make a real difference through greener commuting choices—and maybe even win prizes along the way!
The Commuter Challenge encourages community members to choose sustainable transportation options like biking, carpooling, transit, and walking for their commutes throughout May. In past years, Ann Arbor commuters have traveled nearly 100,000 miles using greener modes of transportation, cutting down on environmental impact while promoting healthier habits.
Bonus: Participants in the Green Business Challenge can earn 5 points in the mobility category toward their certification by joining community events like the Commuter Challenge and Bike to Wherever Day on May 14—where Ann Arbor SPARK will also host a station featuring morning treats!
Start your day with purpose—good coffee, great connections, and a commitment to a greener community.
