goDMV Commuter Competition

What is the goDMV Commuter Competition?

The goDMV Commuter Competition is a friendly challenge among District, Maryland, and Virginia employers to promote sustainable commuting amongst employees. The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments’ Commuter Connections program, along with the help of goDCgo, DDOT, MDOT, and VDOT, are hosting this first-ever regional challenge. 

During the challenge, commuters track their sustainable commutes and non-commute trips to win prizes and other incentives as they climb the leaderboard. Best of all, it’s free to participate, and even those unaffiliated with a participating employer can join and win prizes!  

The competition starts on March 3 and goes through May 31, 2025. 

Great! How can my organization get involved?

Register your organization for the challenge.
We will do almost everything for you! To make the process as easy as possible, our team will get you set up on the trip-logging platform, assist you with encouraging employee participation, and support you along the way. We’ll give you a checklist that walks you through your responsibilities and important dates throughout the competition. 

As a participating employer, you’ll need to:  

• Watch our onboarding webinar 
• Review our introductory materials, and
• Share the provided promotional resources with your employees.  

The employer with the highest employee participation will receive a glass award, a catered winner’s lunch, and bragging rights!  

Organizations should register for the competition by February 1, 2025 to allow time for employer onboarding, program promotion, and employee registration. Fill out the Registration Form below to get started!

Promote the competition to your audiences.
Even if you don’t want to commit to competing as an entire organization, your customers, stakeholders, and employees can sign up to participate independently. We will provide graphics, text for newsletters and social media, and flyers – all you have to do is share and spread the word. If you’d like our partner promotional packet, reach out to us.

We welcome residents, business owners, elected officials, and others to post about the competition on their social media accounts to share the excitement with others.

Provide ad space.
We are interested in promoting the competition through a limited number of paid and sponsored ad placements across the region (print media, bus or transit stop ads, web banners, email content, social media content, radio spots, etc.). Reach out to us at [email protected] if you have available ad space.

I want to participate as a commuter.

Instructions on how to sign up as an individual will be posted after February 1. Check back soon! In the meantime, you can create a CommuterCash to get in-app reminders to register for the competition.
