If you haven't heard, the Wednesday Challenge is a behavioural change project started by our former city councillor Heidi Hughes. We're encouraging Tauranga residents to get out of single-occupancy cars on a Wednesdays. Instead, we aim to move around town via active transport modes such as walking, biking or running, carpooling or bussing etc. There are many great reasons to participate, including improving mental and physical health and well-being, reducing emissions and travel congestion, saving money, and building community. We're also offering up some competitions and monthly prizes. If we all make an effort on the same day, a tangible difference will be felt on the streets, and we'll send an important signal to residents and policymakers about the changes we'd like to see in our city.

Sign up for the Wednesday Challenge and help the city, planet, your well-being and wallet
