Employers across Northern Ireland are being encouraged to sign-up to the Active Travel Challenge for a healthier and more environmentally-friendly commute.

The Challenge is all about taking part and encouraging more people to try changing the way they travel. The Active Travel Challenge runs from 1 June - 30 June.

What is the Challenge?

The Challenge is designed to get people from any organisation, workplace, or community group in Northern Ireland to engage in active travel for every day journeys. It's free and easy to participate. All you have to do is register on this website and then start logging your journeys to get on the leader board. Compete against other organisations and individuals across Northern Ireland. 

It’s great fun and we'll be giving out loads of prizes along the way! 

The aim of the Challenge is to get as many people as possible choosing to make more of their journeys by walking, cycling, running, scooting/skating, and using public transport then logging these journeys. We want people to rethink their commute and consider using active travel during the course of their work i.e. walking or cycling to a meeting. But it's not just about commuting. We want to see people getting active in their leisure time as well. If you have a walking group or cycling group, for example, or if you take the train for a day out with the family, you can log these journeys and activities too.
