August 26 - September 30, 2024
UofL wants you to save money, burn calories, put an end to pollution, and win prizes…all by simply choosing to get to campus in a new way! Record your trips on Cardinal Directions throughout the Cards Commuter Challenge (August 26 - September 30) and each week you'll have the chance to win one of the $50 weekly prizes or the $250 Grand Prize! Any trip by means other than driving alone increases your chances of winning!
Step 1: Join the Challenge online!
- Register for free on the Cardinal Directionstrip-finding and carpool-matching platform
- Be sure to join either the Students at UofL network or Employees at UofL network. You must be in one of those networks to win.
Step 2: Challenge yourself (and your friends!) to get to campus differently!
Try these life-affirming alternatives to the expense, road-rage, pollution, and parking hassles of driving alone:
- BUS: Ride any TARC route free with UofL ID (just swipe your card as you board - any time, anywhere).
- CARDpool: Organize your own carpool with friends, family, colleagues, or classmates; or find rides & offer rides online through Cardinal Directions.
- WALK, SKATE, or BIKE: Get your workout just by getting where you need to go under your own power! If you don't have your own bike, borrow one free from UofL Bikeshare. Be sure to also log your bike trips during Cycle September as an individual to be entered to win fabulous national prizes! And join Team UofL on Strava to log your rides and encourage/compete against your peers for the UofL Grand Prize: a $200 voucher to a local bike shop! Simply log your trips by bicycle for fun, fitness, or transportation from September 1-30, 2024.
- VANPOOL: Employees can get in on a vanpool, get your ride home guaranteed, or enter to win additional monthly prizes with Every Commute Counts.
- SKIP THE COMMUTE: Work or study from home for maximum convenience, savings, and safety!
* NOTE: Though certainly better than driving, getting around via lazy, coal-powered electric scooters does not qualify for this Challenge. Skip the dirty electricity and use your muscles to qualify!
