Dartmouth faculty and staff will again participate in the National Bike-Walk to Work Day Spring
Commuter Challenge on Friday, May 18. This annual event, coordinated by Upper Valley Rideshare
and Upper Valley Trails Alliance, raises
awareness of commuting alternatives that benefit the environment while
promoting fitness and health. Dartmouth is one of dozens of employers and
municipalities in the Upper Valley sponsoring the event.
By walking, biking, carpooling, or taking the bus to work, you can save on
the price of gas, reduce pollution, and avoid parking headaches. Throughout the
morning, Bike/Walk to Work Day breakfasts will be held in Hanover, Lebanon, and
Claremont, N.H., and Hartford, Vt. Participants are invited to stop by, track
their mileage, enter prize drawings, and enjoy a light meal with other bikers
and walkers. Breakfast locations and times are available at the Web site.
For more details, contact Upper Valley Rideshare at (802) 295-1824,
extension 208, or Upper Valley Trails Alliance at (802) 649-9075.
