Free BART Passes!

Don’t forget - Keep logging those points and you could be one of 4 people to win a $20 BART pass! At the end of Sept we will be raffling off 4 BART passes, the more points you have the better your chances are to win. Remember to keep coming back every month to log your activity and earn as many points and bonus points as you can!

Hometown Hero: Lorraine Hwang

This Hero really goes the distance! Lorraine bikes to work everyday, except when it rains 'cause that's when she drives her snazzy Prius. :)

Way to make a difference, Lorraine- keep up the good work.
