Have you taken the Med Center on the Move<\/a> challenge? Med Center on the Move is a campaign encouraging med center employees and students to take an active mode of transportation for one of their commutes each week. <\/p>\n

That’s it, just one trip per week, and you pick the day and the mode that works for you.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s walking, taking the bus, biking, carpooling or a combination of modes, active transportation helps keep you healthier and<\/i> cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions. This campaign aligns with the City of Omaha’s Midtown on the Move<\/a>, an active transportation campaign for all of midtown.<\/p>\n

Using any of the four modes will save you money, allow you to fit exercise into your day and reduce pollution and traffic congestion in Omaha.<\/p>\n

In addition to those benefits, if you sign up for TravelSmart*<\/a> before July 1 you’ll have a chance to win a free bike tune-up at Ponderosa Cycles, a gym\/travel bag, a Camelbak water bottle, a walk\/bike safety light, a drawstring backpack or a hot\/cold beverage tumbler.<\/p>\n

If you’re already a TravelSmartie, refer a coworker for a chance to win a 20-minute massage from the Wellness Center, walk\/bike safety light, or zippered padfolio. Make sure they give us your name while signing up.<\/p>\n

*We encourage any employee or student to use active transportation. However, please note that only employees and students at the 42nd and Dewey campus are currently eligible for TravelSmart.<\/i><\/p>\n
