Trip Logging

The "Log Your Trips" widget on your dashboard helps you track trips for rewards, challenges, and programs. Follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Select Your Date(s)
   • Click on the calendar dates you want to log trips for.
   • Selected dates will be highlighted in blue.
   • Today is pre-selected by default.
2. Enter Trip Details
   • Click "Where Did You Go?" to add your origin and destination (if available on your platform).
   • Fill in your departure time.
   • Add return time (or click "No Return Trip" for one-way).
   • Enter the one-way distance.
   • Select your primary mode of travel (carpool, transit, etc.).
3. Complete and Save
   • Add any additional transportation modes if needed.
   • Click "Log Trips".

Need to log more trips for the same day(s)? Just re-select the days you want to add more logs for and follow the same steps. Note that you will need to choose different times, as you cannot log two trips as happening at the same time.

☝️ 99% of trip logging problems happen because:

• No date is selected - Make sure you don't forget to select a date.
• Missing required fields - All fields must be filled out.
• Invalid times - Make sure departure time is before return time.

Advanced: Multi-Leg Trips

What's a multi-leg trip? Using multiple transportation modes for one journey (e.g., bike to train station, then train to work).

Simple Multi-Leg Example

Morning: Bike to bus stop, then bus to work Evening: Same route in reverse

Log each segment separately:

For the bike portion:

1. Select your dates
2. Enter bike departure time (morning and evening)
3. Enter bike distance only
4. Select "Bike" as mode
5. Click "Log Trips"

For the bus portion:

1. Select the same dates again
2. Enter bus departure times
3. Enter bus distance only
4. Select "Bus/Transit" as mode
5. Click "Log Trips"

Result: You'll have 4 trip segments total (2 bike + 2 bus) in your history.

Different Modes Each Direction

If your morning and evening commutes use different transportation:

1. Log morning trip with "No Return Trip" selected
2. Log evening trip separately with "No Return Trip" selected
3. Repeat for each transportation mode used

Note: For short first/last-mile portions (like walking to your car), use the "Additional Modes" field instead of logging separately.
