Commute Challenge 2009: Team and Overall Results 
It took some data massaging and crunching, but the results are in! We had a phenomenal response to our first-ever Commute Challenge, with 62 teams participating! We calculated results for teams, and also ran the numbers to see which workplaces had the greatest numbers of employees registered. Highlights are listed below, along with a table showing all team results. What we're highlighting in the results: - Highest percentage of new commuters on a team=new wheels on the road!
