Fantastic work Peter! Love your humor! Finn has always used the RTD, long board and walking to get to Boulder High from our home in Longmont. We live about 6 blocks from a Bolt Stop and he is able to get to school more efficiently than he would any other way. For us Trip Tracker is a win win. He was already using RTD so it's like a little rebate :). Fun, and inspired us to get out of the car! Great educational tool for children, helps the environment, and gets local business involved. Great idea to reward kids for lowering their carbon foot print! I appreciate that my student has a nice incentive to take the public bus to school. Thanks Trip Trackers! I like this program because it helps influence my child to get more exercise. I love Trip Tracker. My daughter is aware of the program and reminds me to track our days. We are dedicated carpoolers and love that, even though our family doesn't attend neighborhood schools, we can still lessen our burden on the environment by sharing resources. I think it is motivating my son to carpool, bike, or bus, etc. thus reducing pollution. Plus it's a fun way to get him to think about a healthier lifestyle. I think it’s great that you are doing trip tracker. As a family, we try and walk / bike to school and work so trip tracker doesn’t really impact us very much ‐ but I think every little bit helps to cut down on driving I think the Trip Tracker program is a great way for the Boulder community to come together and support multi‐modal transportation to reduce traffic and improve the environment. Thanks! I think this program is great. "We live in Louisville and welcome the opportunity to participate in the Trip Tracker program. While we would car pool either way, it allows our kids to feel a part of something bigger and helps explain why it is important to share rides." It has gotten me to buy books. My mom used to do that. It makes mom's job easier and it has developed self‐confidence and self‐esteem in my 6th grader! It motivates our family to bike walk or bus on the weekend to spend the trip tracker dollars. It really motivates my son to walk the mile or so from school to home. It’s a great way to reward alternate travel. It's great to see our son develop an awareness of the impact driving a car has on our environment and our pocketbook. When he sees that his actions (re: riding his bike), result in direct savings that we can benefit from, it's a wonderful learning tool. The Trip Tracker Dollars make it real for him, not just a concept. This is a terrific program that other school districts should emulate. 15
