Cards Commuter Challenge 2026

EVENT

Event Details

August 24 - September 30, 2026. University-wide
UofL wants you to save money, burn calories, put an end to pollution, and win prizes…all by simply choosing to get to campus in a new way. Record your trips on Cardinal Directions throughout the Cards Commuter Challenge (August 24 - September 30) and you'll have the chance to win a $50 shopping spree at Middle of Town Cycling. Any trip by means other than driving alone increases your chances of winning. Check the Leaderboard.

Step 1: Join the Challenge online.

Register for free on the Cardinal Directions trip-finding and carpool-matching platform Be sure to join either the Students at UofL network or Employees at UofL network. You must be in one of those networks to win.

Step 2: Challenge yourself (and your friends) to get to campus differently.
Try these life-affirming alternatives to the expense, road-rage, pollution, and parking hassles of driving alone:

BUS: Ride any TARC route free for UofL community with the Token Transit app. CARDpool: Organize your own carpool with friends, family, colleagues, or classmates; or find rides & offer rides online through Cardinal Directions. WALK, SKATE, or BIKE: Get your workout just by getting where you need to go under your own power. If you don't have your own bike, borrow one free from UofL Bikeshare. VANPOOL: Employees can get in on a vanpool, get your ride home guaranteed, or enter to win additional monthly prizes with Every Commute Counts. SKIP THE COMMUTE: Work or study from home for maximum convenience, savings, and safety.

Explore all of UofL's Sustainable Transportation Options.

Step 3: Log your trips to win.
The only way to be in the running for prizes is to log your commute trips online with Cardinal Directions.

Connect with us, trash-talk, and post about your commute on social media @UofLSustainable.
