YPCOTA Bus Challenge 2010 – Thursday, June 17-Thursday, July 15
“Ditch the keys. Ride the Bus.â€Â
Will you take up the Challenge? Join locals from all backgrounds, trades, cultures, and neighborhoods in a social competition to see who can log the most trips made on central Ohio’s public transit system – the bus.
Reliable public transportation is vital in the growth of any city. That’s why Young Professionals of Columbus (YPC) and the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) have come together to create an event that will open eyes, change lifestyles and make the community a little bit “greener†– the YPCOTA Bus Challenge 2010!
If you’re a regular rider, this should be a walk in the park. If you’re a newbie – join the adventure and take that first step toward a transit lifestyle – jump on the bus! You don’t have to do it alone, bring your friends and make it a team affair.
You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to experience a fresh perspective on urban living, meet new people, attend great events and spontaneous meet-ups, race through scavenger hunts, win prizes and more...
Show off your adventures and upload your photos and videos to the YPCOTA’s Facebook page and Twitter account. We want to see and know it all! Tweet us up in real time. Send pictures and videos to our Facebook page of yourself and teammates living the transit life. Tell us all about it and let the world step into your shoes!
And, don’t forget to keep track of your competitors; their pics and Tweets should prove interesting and give you some great ideas.
For more information, and to join in the fun, search for the YPCOTA Facebook Fan Page.
Stay on top of what’s going on minute-to-minute by following us on Twitter @YPCOTA.
You wouldn’t want to miss out on the weekly meet-ups either!
