Do you drive to school? Did you know you can participate in Trip Tracker too?

Ever wonder how far you can park away from school and still get Trip Tracker credit?

These maps will show you how to participate if you drive to/from school often or on occasion. The maps identify a boundary line not to drive through, if you want to earn Trip Tracker trips and you can has only your own family members in it. This is how families that need to drive most of the way, can still participate in the program.

Parking outside of the boundary line and walking part of the way is often faster than getting stuck in the traffic line, plus everyone involved gets a little extra exercise, which is good for the body and brain.

Each month, these trips can be reported as a Partial Trip = part of the trip counts, if you don't pull all the way up to school property. 

Carpooling (2+ families in a car) is it's own category, just like walking, biking, & busing are also categories.

Key Reminders

Each school year:

  • Program Registration/Re-Registration starts in August and is open through April. The Trip Tracker Program & your school will let you know when it is time to do so.
  • August is for registration (no trip tracking or trip reporting), since schools and grades start on different days.
  • September through April is for Trip Tracking.
  • October through May is for Trip Reporting and Tracker Buck Reward Distribution.
  • May is for the final reward distribution and all Tracker Bucks expire on May 31.
  • Trips are tracked at home for one month at a time. Use any tracking tool you prefer. The Trip Tracker Program provides optional Tracking Calendars that are available online starting for September.  
  • Trip Reporting (online) is done the first week of school, after each tracked month (repeats October through May). 
  • Log into your Trip Tracker account to report trips during each school month's week long reporting period OR anytime to see your prior activity & results.
  • Earned Tracker Buck rewards can be spent only at locally-owned Businesses participating in Trip Tracker - a new Trip Tracker Business List is available starting each September and is always available/current on the Trip Tracker website.
  • Remember that some Trip Tracker Businesses have spending limits, so check the Trip Tracker Businesses List before you go spend, if that is helpful to you.
