The Results Are In!
by Cate Longino
A big thank you to everyone who participated in our 2024 goDCgo Commuter Challenge! With over 1,600 participants, this year’s Commuter Challenge broke records. Over the last 3 months, we collectively logged 91,215 sustainable trips, reducing 232 tons of CO2 in the District, burning 6.2 million calories, and saving $0.3 million collectively. These choices have a huge collective impact; thank you to our Challenge participants for doing their part to help make DC the healthiest, greenest, and most livable city in the nation!
