How much are you willing to pay for a gallon of gasoline before you change habits? Some predictions put it a $5 per gallon in 2012. GLT''s Good To Go can help set you on a more environmentally AND economically sustainable path! Good to Go is an ongoing community wide project of GLT and ISU Sustainability designed to encourage healthy lifestyles and promote the use of alternative transportation instead of driving alone. The initiative's primary event is a Commuter Challenge, a friendly competition between individuals, teams and workplaces. During the 3rd week of May (12-18, 2012) participants track and report their commutes online.
The Good To Go Commuter Challenge returns to McLean County May 12-18 and kicks off at the first Downtown Bloomington Farmers' Market of the season. Make your first sustainable commute of the Challenge to the market by using the bus or carpooling. Ride your bike and the Friends of the Trail will watch it for you. Register for the Challenge and get a free water bottle and ice cream cone from Carl's. Explore a B-NPTS bus and test drive an all electric Mitsubishi "i."
Do you have what it takes? As an Ambassador you'll work to increase awareness and boost registration and participation at your workplace or in your organization for the 2012 challenge May 12-18. Learn more and become an Ambassador by contacting Mike McCurdy.

Enrollment is free. Reserve it weeks in advance or at the last minute and go anytime day or night. The hourly rate includes gas, insurance, GPS and more.
