The Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University is once again hosting its GoGallatin Challenge to encourage individuals and teams throughout the Gallatin Valley to change how they view their commutes by carpooling, biking, walking or using public transportation.
This year’s fifth annual contest has been extended from three to four weeks and will take place from June 3–28. Matthew Madsen, technical research associate at the Western Transportation Institute, said the event is designed to discourage people from making single vehicle trips, thereby saving time and money while reducing emissions.
“We have options for biking, walking, carpooling, taking Streamline (bus), we have pogo sticking and scootering. Any way you want to switch up your commute is the goal,” Madsen said. “It’s not just to and from work. We’re trying to get people to rethink how they commute, especially during the summer.”
