Participate in TART Trails’ 18th annual Smart Commute Week from June 1 – 8 and reap the many rewards of smart commuting – save money, increase your physical activity, enjoy free breakfasts, and build camaraderie with others in the community.
Smart Commute Week, which is part of TART Trails’ year-round Smart Commute Program, educates and encourages everyone in the community to consider options for getting around town. TART Trails challenges you to walk, bike, carpool, ride public transit or any creative form of ‘smart’ transportation! Rally your friends and co-workers to compete in the Smart Commute Challenge. There are great awards for the finalists of each category.
