Join Modo in the BC Commuter Challenge!
Not only does the BC Commuter Challenge take place during National Environment Week and Global Sharing Week, but Modo is a proud sponsor! That's three great reasons to challenge your commute — whether you cycle, carshare, transit, run, walk or kayak to work, every logged mile counts. Participants can also win great prizes including Modo free drive time, bouldering courses, a VIA Rail round-trip to Jasper and many more.
"Our goal is to encourage healthy, safe and green communities along the coast and across BC by promoting sustainable commutes. We hope you will choose to join us!" — Stephen White, BC Commuter Challenge Coordinator.
To celebrate Global Sharing Week and commuting in style, Modo member and Ambassador Megan te Boekhorst will take over our Instagram account for the week, starting June 5th. Follow her Modo adventures on Instagram!
