The Challenge, led by the Oregon Department of Transportation, Metro and area partners, is a timely reason to discover travel options that can save money and time while getting a daily dose of exercise.
The goal of the 15-day challenge is for participants to log their trips into DriveLessConnect.com, Oregon’s free trip tracking tool for all walking, biking, transit, rideshare or telework trips.
To join this year’s Oregon Drive Less Challenge, sign up for free at DriveLessConnect.com. Then, from Sept. 16 through Sept. 30, log bus, train, bike, carpool, vanpool and walking trips for work, errands or play, plus teleworking, for the chance to win prizes.
Local assistance from Metro is available to help individuals find carpools and/or vanpools, navigate bus schedules and routes, determine bike routes, and answer challenge-related questions. Additionally, Metro's Getting Around website features useful local resources and guides to aid in planning trips.
