Grand Prize Winner Announced

Sep 11, 2018

We extend a hearty congratulations to Brianne M. who was randomly selected as the Grand Prize winner in the New Member category. “I ride transit because I care about my impact on the environment in Richmond. I’m doing my part for RVAgreen 2050 – the city’s commitment to reduce our community’s carbon footprint 80% by 2050. I also love the added benefits of not having to worry about or pay for parking, being able to read or listen to music, relax during my commute, and saving on gas and car maintenance. To top it all off, RideFinders rewards me for my sustainable commute,” Brianne stated.

We encourage Brianne and all of you to continue to ride the bus, carpool, vanpool, ride your bike, walk and telework to help make a powerful impact on the environment! The 2018 Commuter Green Summer Challenge winners are:
