Where can your daily commute take you? GoTriangle is challenging locals to replace their solo-vehicle trips with public transit, carpool (or vanpool), bike, scooter, or walking — and together, travel the distance around the Earth.

From March 17-April 17, a dynamic leaderboard in Share the Ride NC will show how far individuals have traveled + our community’s collective progress toward the 24,900-mile goal.

Participants score one point for every mile tracked, and the person with the most points in each smart commute mode will win a JBL Bluetooth speaker. Winners will be announced on Earth Day (April 22).
