Create Your Own Website or spreadsheet

• Jim Carson while at Amazon.com hosted his own website for the 2003 challenge.
• Sean Cryan of Downtown's top architectural firm Mithun created an elaborate spreadsheet to keep track of the 16 teams of architecture firms that participated. He was able to have his own in-house contest and challenge between the firms, which helped these companies sweep the top team of the year awards in every category!

BTWM Posters & Brochures

A picture says a thousand words. A great way to increase exposure of your message is a poster. Display posters in your office, lunch room or on a bulletin board. Print some extra brochures to hand out at the office.

Take pictures of your team and send to [email protected] heading "BTWM Photos". Print out your pictures and display them on your bulletin board, at department meetings or on your own website.

Department Meetings

You have a captured audience. Let others know at your department meeting how your Commute Challenge team is doing. Use this as recruitment strategy or a way to highlight your team's efforts during the (and before) the month.
