The Bike Month Business Challenge presents an incentive for businesses and organizations in the greater Charlottesville area to adopt cycling as their mode of transportation in May. Organized by RideShare, a program of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC), this friendly competition aims to reduce car dependency while promoting employee wellness and enhancing environmental responsibility during National Bike Month, each May. The challenge’s long term goal is to create a community that embraces active mobility.
Participants track their bike trips and miles using the free ConnectingVA app. In 2024, local businesses teams cycled 823 miles collectively, successfully reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 685.21 pounds! Get your business in gear to help double our impact this year! Learn more and sign up your team today at https://rideshareinfo.org/bike-month/.
