From January 12 through February 20, Marin commuters can jumpstart healthier, more sustainable travel habits - and earn bonus rewards while doing it. The six week challenge stacks extra incentives on top of Marin Commutes' year-round perks, making it more rewarding than ever to transform your New Year's resolutions into lasting routines.

Log 8 Trips for a Chance to Win!

Every 3 weeks, participants who log at least 8 alternative trips are entered into a random drawing for a $50 gift card. At the end of the Challenge, the top 10 participants on each leaderboard (walk/bike, transit, carpool/vanpool) will be entered into a Grand Prize Drawing for a $100 gift card.

How it Works:

  • Log your trips to climb the Leaderboard.
  • $50 Prize Drawings: Automatically entered if you’ve logged 8 trips in each 3-week period.
  • $100 Grand Prize Drawing: At the end of the Challenge, the top 10 participants in each leaderboard will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 gift card.

Tell Us Your Commute Resolution
