Attention, University of Oregon employees! You deserve a reward for commuting to work using active and sustainable transportation. Log 34 eligible commute trips on Get There Oregon between May 1st and May 31st to earn a Cotopaxi Hip Pack. These packs are one-of-a-kind, each made from 100% repurposed materials – colors will vary. One hip pack prize per person. If you log the trips, you earn the prize!
Eligible trip modes include Bicycle, E-Bike, Carpool, Transit, Train, Vanpool, Walk, Electric or Kick Scooter, Skate, Remote Work, Compressed Work Week, and Did Not Work. You can log a maximum of two commute trips per workday, so 34 trips is just 17 workdays in May!
