By entering into the Commute Solutions Month Challenge, I acknowledge that I have read and understand the following rules:

1.      The Commute Solutions Month Commute Challenge sponsor is the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), a government Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).

2.      The Commute Solutions Coalition is a voluntary organization primarily staffed by CAMPO, Capital Metro, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the City of Austin, and the Downtown Austin Alliance.

3.      The Commute Solutions Month Commute Challenge runs from September 10, 2006 at 12:00 a.m. to September 23, 2006 at 11:59 p.m.

4.     The purpose of the Commute Solutions contest is to promote alternatives to single occupant vehicle travel either during the daily commute to and from work, or to lunch. These alternatives can include carpool, vanpool, taking public transportation, biking, walking, or teleworking. Only those who use at least one alternative to commute to or from work or lunch will be eligible for the prize drawing.

5.      All participants must work and/or live in Hays, Travis or Williamson Counties. Participants may live outside the three counties and work inside them, or live inside the three counties and work outside them.  As long as your workplace, home, or both are in the one of the three counties, you are eligible.

6.      Participants enter the drawing by submitting the date(s) and type of alternative commute method they used for their commute to and from work or lunch. You may enter at www.commutesolutions.com by selecting the Commute Solutions Month Challenge Link or by calling 512-974-2529 between September 10, 2006 at 12:00 a.m. and September 23, 2006 at 11:59 p.m.

7.      All participants will be given one entry for each round-trip commute to work or telework/telecommute day they participate in during the Challenge weeks. These entries will be entered into a random drawing for prizes.

8.      Chances of winning will depend on the number of contest entries and the number of alternative commutes by each participant.

9.      Prizes will be a $500 gift certificate ($250 Tanger Outlet Mall + $250 Simon Malls), $250 gift certificate to the Driskel Hotel, $200 Visa Gift Card, (2) $100 gift certificaes, (3) $50 gift certificates, and (7) $25 gift certificates to local businesses. CAMPO reserves the right to offer alternate prizes at the same value.

Members of the Commute Solutions Coalition, those who have attended a Commute Solutions Coalition meeting in the last year, those who have staffed a Commute Solutions Fair or Commute Fair with the Commute Solutions Coalition in the last year and their spouse, children, domestic partner or household members are not eligible for prizes.
