Your chance is coming up: the Go-Tober 2024 challenge is almost here! Way to Go’s yearly transit and carpooling challenge helps companies improve employee morale, get more workers in the office, and get in a little free advertising.
Denver employers of all sizes are encouraged to join the challenge now on the Way to Go website. Benefits include:
- Prizes for employees who use transit or carpooling on their commute.

- Higher productivity from engaged employees with more incentives to head to work.

Go-Tober gets your workforce connected
Go-Tober isn’t just getting to work: eco-friendly and active commutes help employees connect to their neighborhood, coworkers, and the city. When biking or taking local transit, employees can exercise more and experience Denver’s beautiful views. By taking the Go-Tober challenge, employers can create a culture of employee satisfaction and work-life balance.
The #WaytoGoTober Instagram hashtag is full of happy workers: @vtburninator gushed that taking transit “makes my commute easy, reliable, and provides me plenty of time to catch up on work + listen to the Hamilton soundtrack!”
Carpooling makes for better teamwork, too: by connecting with colleagues who live nearby and depending on each other to get to work, your employees will form stronger relationships inside the office, which increases retention and productivity.
Any way you slice it, employees benefit from Go-Tober commutes. They’ll be able to track how much time and money they’ve saved when recording trips, plus enter to win prizes! By encouraging employees to participate, companies show they value workers’ satisfaction, health, and local community
Join the green wave in Denver
Inside or out of the environmental industry, Denver and Glendale organizations benefit from going green. Especially in Denver, this year’s #2 city in the U.S. for climate-friendly policies (as measured by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy,) it pays in recruiting and retention to show your environmental side. With 1 in 3 employers bracing for higher turnover in 2024, staying relevant on this issue can make all the difference.
Denver is one of the few cities in the U.S. with a city agency working solely to combat climate change. Local voters banded together in 2020 to create an Office of Climate Action, Sustainability, and Resiliency by increasing their sales tax. That voter base is made up of Denver workers—show you share their concerns by incentivizing a clean commute.
These benefits are just the cherry on top of free media coverage for the 5 winning companies. Go–Tober is here to help your employee morale, and don’t worry—we’ve got all the logistics sorted out. Sign up for the challenge now to start getting all the info!
