Greater Madison MPO
RoundTrip Smart Trips Challenge
Our RoundTrip program promotes sustainable, healthy, and affordable ways to get around—like carpooling, biking, walking, rolling, and riding the bus. This September, RoundTrip is hosting the Smart Trips Challenge to inspire Dane County residents to swap solo drives for greener options, and to celebrate those who drive less year-round.
The challenge is free and open to all Dane County residents ages 18 and up. Create a free RoundTrip account and log your trips throughout September to be entered into weekly and grand prize drawings, featuring prizes donated by Metcalfe’s Market, Machinery Row Bicycles, TREK Madison East, Madison Bikes, Monk’s Bar & Grill, and Buck & Honey’s!
Week Without Driving
The MPO is partnering with local communities and organizations to promote Week Without Driving—a nationwide challenge running from Monday, September 29 to Sunday, October 5, 2025. The challenge encourages people, especially those who design or influence our transportation system, to go without driving their personal vehicle for a week, a day, or even just one trip. The goal is to experience firsthand the barriers nondrivers face and better understand the importance of accessible, multimodal transportation options.
