Sustainable Kingston, with support from community and institutional partners, is thrilled to announce the Commuter Challenge is returning to Kingston this June.

Held June 4-10, the Commuter Challenge is an annual, national campaign designed to

encourage Canadians to walk, cycle, carpool/ride-share, take transit and telecommute. It

coincides with Kingston Cycling Week, an event Sustainable Kingston is also supporting.

Sustainable Kingston wants to challenge people in Kingston who currently commute by car to ‘test drive’ active transportation or transit for one week.

To sign up your workplace:

1. Choose a workplace ambassador.

2. Register your workplace at commuterchallenge.ca.

3. Encourage your colleagues to register under your workplace/organization profile

on commuterchallenge.ca.

4. From June 4 to 10, log your sustainable commute on commuterchallenge.ca.

Your colleagues do the same on their own.

“There are so many great reasons to bike, walk or take transit to school or work.” Explains Geoff Hendry, COO of Sustainable Kingston. “In addition to being one of the most impactful things you can do to address the climate crisis, you’ll save money and feel healthier.”  

In 2022, Kingston Commuter Challenge’s 288 participants logged 152,039 KM of sustainable

commuting. This avoided 8,929 KG’s of C02 emissions, saved 4,072 litres of fuel, and burned

673,682 calories.
