* % = (# of 1-way bike commutes) / (# of employees * 8). If two organizations tie percentages, the larger one takes the prize. Eight was used in this calculation to determine the total number of 1-way commutes over 4 days. This year the number in the formula will be 18, to reflect the extended length of the Challenge.
