Join us for a month of celebrating the joy of walking, boosting your active lifestyle, and shining a spotlight on pedestrian safety. Let’s make every step count!
Are you up for the challenge? Let’s get walking!
Step 1
Become an Alamo Commutes member by downloading the Alamo Commutes app or visiting the website to create a profile and begin recording your walking trips. In order to be eligible, make sure that you’ve included an updated email address and updated your profile.
Step 2
Once you’ve set up your Alamo Commutes profile, go to “Trips” select “Record a Trip”. Select “New Trip”, then select your mode (walk). Remember to be on the lookout for the themes of the week. You can also sync Alamo Commutes with your Strava or FitBit account to automatically record your trips! On the Alamo Commutes mobile app, go to “Trips” then select your syncing options. You will be directed to log into that account and agree to share that data.
Step 3
Once you’ve started recording your trips, you’re eligible to win! The more walking trips you record in the app or website, the greater your chances of winning. Remember that you can record any mode trip during the month as well. Make sure to check your email, both main inbox and spam, once the month is over to see if you have won.
