As we settle into June, we see full bike racks, bustling sidewalks, and people exploring the community on foot. We get the opportunity to show people a different way to move through an urban spaceβ€”one that is more engaging, connected, and community-focused.

The impact of Smart Commute Week extends far beyond a single week, and that's a direct reflection of the contribution sponsors and participants made to support this initiative. Special shout-out to Cherry Capital Cycling Club, MSU Federal Credit Union, BATA, True North Urgent Care, 9&10 Medial Group, Networks Northwest, Farm Club, and Honor Bank.

Thank you to the community for helping create another incredible Smart Commute Week!
