To be eligible to win, commuters must do the following:

—Like one of Commuter Services' social media pages.

—Comment on any of the three social media posts to be released by Commuter Services the week of National Bike to Work Day (Posts will be released daily Wednesday, Thursday and Friday).

The winners will be announced at the beginning of June.

In 2021, travelers recording their green trips in Commute PA took 21,651 miles off Pennsylvania's roads, saved 969 gallons of gas, and returned $12,288 of disposable income back in their pockets, according to Commuter Services.

Commuter Services is based in York and funding is provided by the Federal Highway Administration through PennDOT and the region's metropolitan planning organizations.
