Hundreds of Dane County residents participated in a transportation challenge in April, opting for sustainable alternatives to solo car trips. During the challenge, organized by the RoundTrip program, participants chose biking, walking, bus riding, and carpooling. This effort reduced over 15 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to removing four gas-powered vehicles from the roads for an entire year.

The Spring Roll Challenge ran throughout April in celebration of Earth Month. "RoundTrip is a free public program of the Greater Madison Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) that helps connect Dane County residents and employees to affordable, sustainable alternatives to driving alone," according to the program's description.

RoundTrip encourages sustainable transportation options to help reduce environmental impact and promote cost-effective commuting.
