4th of July Transit Contest

Friends of Transit received many entries to our 4th of July Transit Contest- thank you to all who participated!

We asked you to send Friends of Transit an email to tell us how you planned to use transit to get to your Independence Day plans, wherever in the Valley they might be. One entry was chosen as the best by our panel of judges and the winner received a $100 gift card to the Mill Avenue District. The remaining entries were entered into a random drawing for four $50 gift cards.

It was hard to pick a winner! We had entries from all over the Valley, with destinations ranging from Tempe Town Lake, Steele Indian School Park, the Diamondbacks game, the All-American Festival at the Peoria Sports Complex, or even just to friends and families’ houses to celebrate. There were entries from both first-time transit users and regular transit riders.

The entry selected as the best was from Jane S in Chandler, who planned a car-free trip from her home to the Desert Botanical Gardens. Jane won a $100 gift card to the Mill Avenue District, good at over 90 participating locations. Jane’s entry said that she felt re-inspired to use public transportation and planned a fun and safe holiday using transit. Congratulations Jane!

The rest of the entries were entered into a random drawing for four other great prizes:

• Tony G. from Gilbert - $50 gift card to the Mesa Arts Center

• Andrew D. from Phoenix - $50 gift card to the Phoenix Zoo

• Alison G. from Phoenix - $50 gift card to Maizie’s Café and Bistro

• Jack A. from Tempe - $50 gift card to the Tempe Improv

Congratulations to all our winners!
