About the Challenge

The City of Kitchener, with sponsorship from Ziggy’s Cycle, is hosting a Bike2Work Challenge in collaboration with Google, Communitech, and Desire2Learn, which aims to:
·         Provide an opportunity for employees to try commuting to work by bicycle
·         Demonstrate that cycling is a viable and sustainable mode of transportation
·         Enable the public and private sectors to lead by example by encouraging their staff to travel more sustainably   
·         Set a precedent for future challenges that would eventually include more downtown businesses and members of the community as participants

Please note that this challenge is being implemented on a pilot basis with businesses who have demonstrated a strong committement to reducing single occupancy vehicle travel and promoting alternative modes of transportation through transportation demand management initiatives at their workplaces. Upon evaluating the challenge and determining its level of success, opportunities to expand the challenge in future years to include more downtown businesses and residents will be explored.
