Grand Valley wins Campus Commuter Challenge

Grand Valley students, faculty and staff have proven to be the greenest commuters in the state by winning the Campus Commuter Challenge. The competition, sponsored by Greenride through The Rapid, measured who took the most alternative commutes during the week of September 22.

Grand Valley competed against Michigan State University, Cooley Law School-Lansing, Henry Ford Community College, Lansing Community College, Oakland University, University of Michigan-Dearborn and Wayne State University.

Grand Valley finished first in the competition, beating out second-place Michigan State by more than 25 percent. "We are so proud of the campus community," said Erin Babson, operations manager for Pew Campus and Regional Centers. "This is another way Grand Valley has proven to be sustainability oriented."
