Time for the annual SmartCommute Challenge

Well, folks, it's that time of year again! Triangle Transit has announced this year's SmartCommute Challenge, which runs through Mary 30. From their press release:

The 2009 SmartCommute Challenge, an annual nonprofit public service campaign aimed at reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality in the Triangle, is celebrating Earth Day with pledge events in Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh. The SmartCommute Challenge, coordinated by GoTriangle and SmartCommute@rtp, encourages commuters and college students who work or attend classes in Durham, Wake or Orange Counties to try a smarter, greener commuting alternative. Commuters can take the Challenge at www.SmartCommuteChallenge.org and pledge to ride the bus, carpool, vanpool, telework, bike or walk at least once during the six week campaign, which runs until May 30.
