Cities and Places Active Challenge 

Jacobs, a TPS Stakeholder Member and sponsor of Transport Planning Day has launched a Cities and Places Active Challenge to be launched on 16 November to coincide with TP Day. 

Are you ready to participate in the Cities and Places Active Challenge? Let’s go!

What Is it? Our collective goal is virtual travel from the Jacobs London office to Jacobs HQ in Dallas calling in at a number of Jacobs offices along the way.

This represents a total distance of 9825 kms, 6140 miles or 12,281,250 steps and we have set the challenge of covering this ground in just over a month.

Why have we set up the challenge?  Three great reasons:

• To help improve mental and physical wellbeing by encouraging staff to take a break from sitting at a computer
  and doing something active each day particularly at lunchtime
• To promote active modes of travel for short trips in support of Transport Planning Day 2020, which this year has
  the theme of tackling climate change and creating a sustainable, healthy future
• To provide a light-hearted opportunity for staff to take part in some gentle competition and enjoy a little fun during
  the ongoing COVID restrictions

How to take part? Everyone can contribute individually or as part of a team – all you need to do is log your activity in a simple form and we will do the rest.

When? From Monday 16th November (Transport Planning Day 2020) to Friday 18^th December inclusive. You can register a team of up to 6 people NOW. Just follow the link below
