You can earn badges through the achievements system by using different modes. Badge categories may vary by organization, but common examples include:
Bike - Cycling to work or for commute-related trips
Carpool - Sharing rides with colleagues
Vanpool - Using shared van transportation
Walk - Walking for your commute
Transit - Using public transportation
Telework - Working from home
Other - Alternative modes such as logging a Strava bike trip
Secret - That remains a secret, of course 😉
How it works: There are different badge levels for each transportation mode, ranging from your first trip up to your 500th trip in each category. Pretty cool way to track your progress!
Spotting your new badges: When you've unlocked a new badge, you'll know because it switches from greyed out to full color.
The bottom line: Badges are a fun way to see how you're doing with sustainable commuting and give you something to work toward. Plus, who doesn't like collecting things?
