What if changing just a few driving trips a month could help you save money, reduce stress, get more active, or spend less time behind the wheel?
That’s exactly what Switch Your Trips is all about.
Beginning October 1, commuters across Washington are challenged to switch drive-alone trips for sustainable alternatives like transit, carpooling, vanpooling, biking, walking, rolling, or a combination of modes.
Log at least 10 qualifying trips during October and you’ll be entered for a chance to win prizes from Switch Your Trips Washington. Prizes include a $1,500 grand prize, a $500 prize, and more, as well as ten $100 Visa gift cards from Go Redmond. Trips must be logged by November 7. Go Redmond winners will be contacted by November 16.
Whether you’re ready to make a big change or simply try something new once a week, this is a great opportunity to explore your transportation options.
