We're back in the Big Dark... and that means taking extra measures to stay safe!

If you're walking or biking when there's no light out, remember to bring your own. Carry a flashlight or use the light on your phone to make sure you're seen.

And cyclists, don't forget that it's the law to have a light on the front *and* back of your bike!

October is Switch Your Trips Month, and there's still time to win PRIZES!

All you have to do is leave your car at home 10 times this month. Get to your destination by riding the bus, walking, biking, riding a scooter, skateboarding... the sky is the limit!

Log 10 trips of this kind and you'll be entered to win prizes. Pretty simple, right?

And the prizes are BIG! You could win a new e-bike or a cash prize of $1,500, $500, $250, $100, $75, or $50.

Just by leaving your car at home, you could win $1,500 or a new e-bike!

October is Switch Your Trips Month, and what better reason to travel differently than winning prizes?!

All you have to do is log 10 times that you get to your destination without driving yourself. You can walk, bike, skateboard, scooter, ride transit... anything you want!

Logging those trips automatically gets you entered to win prizes. Along with the big ticket items, there are also $500, $250, $100, $75, and $50 prizes!

If you live in south Thurston County and want to get around for NO COST, we have a service for you!

RuralTRANSIT is public transportation that is open to all. Its three routes connect all our south county communities to each other, and to Intercity Transit in Tumwater.

And ruralTRANSIT is always zero-fare!

Thurston County shares geography with the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis, the Nisqually Indian Tribe, and the Squaxin Island Tribe. On this Indigenous Peoples' Day, we recognize these tribal nations that have stewarded these lands and celebrate their continuing contributions.

At some point, we are ALL nondrivers.

You walk from your car to your front door, or from the parking lot into a store. Maybe you ride the Chehalis Western Trail on a nice weekend. And maybe your kids take the bus to school.

We can all appreciate the freedom to go wherever you want. So why not have the freedom to get there however you want to?

The presents an opportunity to think about our lives if driving was removed from them. Tell us in the comments about your experiences traveling without driving!

Tomorrow is Walk and Roll to School Day!

It's a great opportunity to walk, bike, skate, or scooter to school instead of driving. And if you're on the road, be sure to keep an eye out for families on sidewalks, in bike lanes, and in crosswalks!
