What counts as a trip?

A one-way trip taken by any mode besides driving alone. That includes walk, bike, transit/train, carpool, vanpool, electric or kick scooter, skate, or compressed and remote work trips for any purpose Oct. 1-14. 

What is a network? 

A network is a dedicated group of people in the Get There Connect platform, often created by employers and organizations. Networks can be workplaces, community groups, schools, neighborhoods, etc. Networks must have at least one network manager and three members (including the network manager) to be eligible for the Challenge. 

Network managers get access to administration features like the ability to add/remove members, metrics tracking, and more! Read more about being a network manager here.

How do I join a network?

You can join one when creating a Get There Connect account or through your profile (Account > Networks). If your group doesn’t have a network, just fill out this form.

Can I join more than one network?

Yes, you can join as many networks as you like. The trips you log will help all of your networks climb the leaderboard.

How can I tell what networks I’m in?

Log into Get There Connect and go to Account > Networks. There you’ll see a list of all networks you’re part of and can search for new ones, too!

How can I promote the Challenge to my network members?

If you manage a network and/or you are an employer, HR staff, sustainability manager or someone who wants to encourage your fellow employees to join in the Get There Commute Challenge, we have a promotional toolkit with ready-made resources to help you to get the word out about the Commute Challenge at your workplace.

Do I need to log trips every day?

No, but the more trips you log, the higher your chances of winning.

Where do I go to log trips?

Sign in to Get There Connect, and use the trip logging dashboard or download the Get There Connect app in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Are remote work days eligible?

Yes! To log a remote work “trip”, enter the trip to your office and how many miles you would have traveled had you commuted to work.

How can I tell if I’m winning? 

Check the Challenge leaderboard to see where you stand on the number of trips logged and how your network is ranking. Mode-specific results (such as the most amount of walk trips, transit trips, etc.) will be announced after the Challenge.

How long after the Challenge ends do I have to log my trips?

Yes! Challenge eligible trips must be logged by 11:59 p.m. on October 18 to be counted for the Challenge.

You can continue using and logging trips on Get There Connect all year long!
