Join CobbRides in our 2008 Walk There Challenge by registering now.

Register during March and receive a free pedometer. You will then be ready to walk for prizes during the April Walk There Challenge.

It is fun, easy and good for you, too. Just answer yes to the Challenge question on your log page. Not yet registered with CobbRides? See our registration link below.

Once you accept the Challenge, just start logging your steps each time you login your commute.

For each of the four weeks of April, two CobbRides area walkers who log their steps will be randomly selected to win an iPod Shuffle. Walkers caught wearing their pedometers during our Stroll Patrols will win instant prizes and be entered into random weekly drawings for $25 gift cards.

At the end of the four-week challenge, the individual who has logged the greatest number of steps will win a weekend getaway to The Inn at Serenbe.

Walking improves the air and promotes good health. More than 25 percent of auto trips are less than one mile in length. By walking one mile round trip, you can keep over three pounds of pollutants out of the air we breathe.

Join us for free lunch & fun on Thursday, March 27th from noon until 1:00 pm at the Hilton Garden Inn on Cobb Place Boulevard. Hear about Alternative Ways to Work and our annual Walk There Challenge.

Register with us at the luncheon and qualify for our March Pot O' Gold prize.

Search www.CobbRides.com to find the questions AND the answers for a chance to win a $20 Target Gift Card.

Once you find the answers, email them to Jennifer@CobbRides.com. Your name will then be put into a drawing for one of several gift cards.

The drawing will take place on March 31st, so get started on that egg hunt now!

CobbRides is giving away a basket of goodies at the end of March. One lucky winner will be drawn from all who register this month at one of our displays or events.

Come see the basket at our Traffic Solutions Luncheon on March 27th or at a display in your office.

Feeling the pinch at the pump?

Visit our routes page to find a route that fits your commute or start a new one. Questions? Contact our new VanPool Coordinator, Dianne Fonseca, at Dianne@CobbRides.com.
