Join the Mohawk Clean Air Commute team

The Sustainability Office wants you to join our team for the 2013 Clean Air Commute, June 17-23. Challenge yourself to commute to campus in a clean and sustainable way for one week to see the impact you can make! We encourage you to try walking, cycling, public transit, carpooling, telecommuting- or even giving your car a tune-up so it runs more efficiently.

Register online and track your commute to campus during the week on the Commuter Log to see your impact.

Participants will have a chance to win great prizes including:

• An iPad mini;


• One of two AMEGO e-bikes and scooters;


• A one-week cycling holiday with The Great Waterfront Trail Adventure Tour: Lake Erie Edition;


• A pair of tickets to a Toronto Blue Jays game with seating at dugout level;


• Four, one-year CAA memberships;


• 32GB Toshiba Tablet;


• Raleigh Revolution Mountain Bike;


• and, many more exciting prizes!

The Sustainability Office will be hosting a number of events to help you commute clean:
