Commuter Challenge returns to Kingston on June 2 – 8, 2024!

Sustainable Kingston, with support from a volunteer committee comprised of community partners, is thrilled to announce the Commuter Challenge is returning to Kingston this June.  

Held June 2-8, the Commuter Challenge is an annual, national campaign designed to encourage Canadians to walk, cycle, carpool/ride-share, take transit and telecommute. It coincides with Canadian Environment Week. 

Sustainable Kingston wants to challenge people in Kingston who currently commute by car to ‘test drive’ active transportation or transit for one week.
