The goDMV Commuter Competition is a free, fun, and friendly way for employers to encourage employees to use sustainable commuting methods to get to work. The competition is coordinated by Commuter Connections and its network of local government transportation departments throughout the metropolitan Washington, DC region.
The basic concept: by forming a goDMV employer team, your employees who join the competition will earn points for logging their daily bike, walk, transit, telework, carpool, and vanpool trips in our CommuterCash app. You’ll watch your team climb the leaderboard while your employees earn CommuterCash points and qualify for great prizes, including cash and gift cards. At the end of the competition, one large and one small employer from each state (DC, MD, VA) with the most trips on the leaderboard logged by their employees during the 1.5-month competition will win a free lunch for participating employees, a shiny awards trophy and bragging rights, and some cool SWAG for your team!
We’ll have lots of ways for team members to earn bonus points and qualify for great raffle prizes, gift cards, and cash, along with our top leaderboard prizes. Check back soon for more details!
Commuter Connections will provide robust support to team captains. Our assistance includes:
