LET’S RETHINK THE SCHOOL RUN – TOGETHER

Every Wednesday, students are moving smarter — walking, biking, scooting, skating or carpooling their way to school.
Why? Because it’s fun, it’s healthy, and it’s making a real difference to our environment.
The Wednesday Challenge is a powerful way for schools to inspire tamariki, rangatahi, and their whānau to choose better travel options — not just for one day, but for life.

“Two weeks ago, I finally got around to busing to work for the Wednesday Challenge. I haven’t driven to work any day since! It costs me less than $3 a day to bus, but parking was costing me $12 a day (not to mention the petrol!). Thanks for the motivation!"
Participant
"I joined the Wednesday Challenge because I’m sick of spending $18 a day on parking."
Davey Van Gooswilligen – Mercury
