Rules of the BIG Green Commuter Challenge

Here you'll find an overview of the main rules of the BIG Green Commuter Challenge (BGCC). A link to a detailed set of rules is shown below.

Organisations that can take part

• Portsmouth based businesses (with PO1 to PO6 postcodes)
• Members of the SignPOST Travel Forum located outside of the Portsmouth area by invitation only
• Organisations that are not SignPOST Travel Forum members based outside  the PO1 to PO6 area, whose employees travel within the Portsmouth travel to work area (eg Fareham, Gosport, Waterlooville, Havant and Portsmouth) may be able to take part.  This is at the discretion of the organiser, PCC Travel Plan Officer
• Other organisations by invitation

Members of the public

While the main aim of the BGCC is to work with businesses members of the public will also be able to take part. (see full rules).

Winning organisation

The winning organisation is the one that demonstrates the highest mileage saved per member of staff employed. This will allow smaller companies to compete against larger companies.

What we provide

The our organiser  will supply leaflets and posters, including PDF versions, guidelines for the co-ordinator and will organise an information session for co-ordinators. Participants will be able to record their miles online, which will reduce admin. work for the inhouse co-ordinator.

What we expect of the organisations that take part

Each organisation taking part will be required to nominate a co-ordinator who will be responsible registering their organisation's involvement, internal publicity, collation and recording of results where employees do not have access to the internet. The co-ordinator must ensure that all participants have recorded their miles online (this will go live in the week of the Challenge in May).

Where employees do not have internet access, the co-ordinator will add their miles on their behalf by the closing date.

Prizes

Some prizes are subject to restrictions as follows:

• South West Trains - to an individual who will commute to work using the train
• SSE - not to their own employees

Members of the Steering Group will be eligible to take part in the BIG Green Commuter Challenge but may not enter the prize draw.
