About Big Green Commute

The Big Green Commute is a week-long commuting competition hosted by ZGF each May that challenges commuters in the Washington, DC region to Go To Work, Make a Difference. The competition—which coincides with Bike to Work Week—incentivizes commutes via walking and biking but also rewards participants for carpooling, taking public transportation, or driving electric vehicles. By engaging our friends, colleagues, and community in a fun, week-long challenge, our goal is to advocate for a healthier, greener society and to inspire behavioral change.
