Take the Pledge
We've upped the ante on this year's Clean Commute Pledge. Take the pledge to bike, bus, carpool, walk or telecommute one or more Fridays in May, and you'll get a chance to win a new 32MB iPod Touch.
Share songs with your carpoolers, read an e-book on the bus, or use Google bike routing on the fly in your favorite wifi zone.
Use the form below to take the Clean Commute Pledge. For each Friday in May you pledge to commute clean, you will be entered into a drawing to win an iPod Touch and other great prizes - bicycle gear, a new bike from Cardinal Bicycle, monthly transit passes, gift certificates, gas cards, coffee, and more!
You don't need to pledge every Friday, but every pledge you make is one more entry into our prize drawing.
Want to have a bigger impact? Form a Clean Commute Team with your friends or coworkers, and compete against other teams in the region for the title of Cleanest Team!
And make sure to check out the events page to see if something exciting is happening on your clean commute day of choice.

"Wait, why doesn't my hybrid count as clean commuting?"
Driving a hybrid (or an all-electric vehicle, or a scooter or motorcycle) is certainly better than driving a gas-guzzler, taking a car off the road by carpooling, switching to transit, bicycling or telecommuting is the best way to improve air quality and contribute to a greener valley. Not everyone can afford to trade in their existing car for a Prius - so taking advantage of existing commute options is what RIDE Solutions is all about.
The cleanest mile is the one not driven.
Besides, did you know that an SUV getting 15 MPG is greener than a Prius getting 50? It's true - if every seat in the SUV is filed! An SUV full of carpoolers only emits 2.6 pounds of CO2 per person, vs. a single person in a Prius at 3.9 pounds.
