MOVING YOU - IN OUR COMMUNITY

When you walk, bike, roll, carpool, vanpool, or take the bus to campus you are helping reduce traffic congestion and parking demand locally. You're setting an example for others, reducing climate impacts, and making a healthy choice.

EARN RIDER REWARDS

We encourage our students and employees to consider how they can reduce the number of trips they make to campus in their car. Can you share a ride with a roommate one or two days per week? Catch the Route 7 bus on days when you don't have to work after class? Every trip you make on a bike, bus, or your favorite active device counts towards our Rider Rewards program. 

Participants earn rewards for completing round-trip commutes using active travel options. Sign up for an account or login at getthereoregon.org. On the dashboard, look for "My Rewards" and choose "View All Rewards" to enroll in the bronze, silver, and gold rewards programs. You'll get a $5 reward when you complete your first 5 round-trips, a $10 reward at 15, and a $25 reward at 30 round-trips. All gift cards earned will be subject to income tax.
