In motion challenges the community to be physically active when traveling to their daily destinations. We want everyone to get “in motion” May 30 - June 5 while participating in the Commuter Challenge. Participants will be able to walk, bike or roll their way to great in motion prizes! This National challenge is a fun and friendly competition between communities and workplaces to see who can have the highest percent of healthy commuters during the week long event.

Leading up to the week long challenge workplaces and individuals can register. During the week the commuters will be able to record their commuting behaviour on-line. Canadians can see how a healthier commute affects greenhouse gas reductions, calories burned, kilometres and dollars saved.

Road Map and in motion are supporting workplaces as they encourage their employees to leave their cars at home for their personal health, the health of their communities and the health of the environment. Individual Canadians can participate too.
