Join me. Take the Challenge. The Drive Less Challenge!

Join me taking the Challenge to drive less in June.

TransForm
 (formerly the Transportation and Land Use Coalition
- TALC)  has put together a great summer program to get Bay Area Residents to drive less.

How It Works

1. You sign up to take the Challenge! To participate, Transform asks that you commit to either: 1) getting 10 people to support you at $5 each, or 2) donating $65 to TransForm. Here are 5 great ways you will help TransForm improve walking, biking and transit.

2. You pick a mileage goal that's right for you and then keep track of your miles.  No matter what your goal is, big or small, if you drive a lot or not at all, it all adds up collectively. Already planned a road trip in June?  Because the Challenge is focused more on the driving we do on a daily basis. 

3. You set a fundraising goal and then ask friends and family to support you in reaching your goals (both dollars and miles).  They've got tips and templates to make it easy! Don't want to fundraise? Simply donate $65 to TransForm and start your Challenge.

4. You chronicle your adventures via your Challenge page. Check out how others (or even "moi") are sharing the highs and lows in reaching their goals with stories, pictures, and videos. 

5. You compete for great prizes.  Prize categories include: "most entertaining posting", "most extreme story of avoiding driving a car", "most inspirational posting", "most supporters", and more.

6. You track your mileage and then share your results with us at the end of June so we can add up how many miles Challengers cut out of their lives. 

7. You celebrate with other Challengers at one of several post-Challenge parties hosted by Sports Basement around the Bay Area.

So Join me in June.
