To promote a better quality of life in the
San Antonio Region, the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) and San
Antonio-Bexar County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) challenge area
citizens to log at least 200,000 “smart miles” during the month of September
for the Fourth Annual Walk & Roll Challenge. Smart miles are efficient and healthy
modes of transportation that reduce our trips to the gas pump, save us money,
improve air quality, and provide health benefits. These include such options
as carpooling, vanpooling, riding the bus, riding a bicycle, or walking while
we commute to work or school; leave home for recreation, exercise, or
entertainment; and go shopping; run errands, or conduct other business.
Miles we travel whenever we drive in vehicles as single occupants DO NOT
count toward the challenge. Miles we travel in a carpool or vanpool, in
a bus, on a bike, or on our feet DO count as “smart miles,” and are
applicable toward your challenge totals. Descriptions
of the four competition categories are linked below: Participants
with the best records in each of four categories will be recognized for their
successes at the Live Green Fest in
