Walk and Ride Registration

Registration for the 2015 Walk & Ride Challenge is now open! 
 
Register by September 11 and you will receive $10 off your team's registration fee!
 
To participate in the Challenge, we have everyone form teams of no more than 5, give the participants pedometers, and have them compete to see which team can take the most steps between October 4 through October 24. The three teams with the most steps will be awarded grand prizes. Prizes are also awarded throughout the three-week challenge! Click here to register your team!
 
Each week, everyone will have a chance to win. 
  • Log 25,000 steps in a week and you are automatically entered into a random drawing for "grab bag" prizes (examples: BTS gear; gift cards to local retailers and restaurants; and more!)  
  • Log 50,000 steps in a week and you are automatically entered into a random drawing for an Amazon Kindle!
  • And finally, be sure to keep a look out for weekly surprise challenges, awards or giveaways! More details coming soon.
Have questions? Please take a look at our Frequently Asked Questions or contact Jennifer Zucker at 301-656-0868 ext. 118.

Montgomery County Schools Reopen This Week 
On Monday, August 31, students in Montgomery County resumed their commutes to school! Since they are very likely to set out on foot or bike  to school or the bus stop, here are a few things you can do to help keep them safe, courtesy of AAA:
  • Slow down, especially in school zones
  • Obey traffic signs and signals
  • Stay alert and eliminate distractions
  • Keep an eye on the space between parked cars
  • Look for clues of children nearby and modify your speed accordingly 
  • Always stop for school buses
  • Modify your travel routes to avoid schools altogether
  • Turn your headlights on for maximum visibility
Plan Now for Car Free Day!
On Monday, September 22, you can pledge to go Car Free (or Car Lite) for a day and be entered to win great prizes!
BTS staff will be at the corner of Old Georgetown Road and Wisconsin Avenue, greeting commuters and providing commuter information from 6:30-8:30 a.m. on that day as well.
