Ann Arbor is gearing up once again for this year’s Commuter Challenge in May where locals are encouraged to take alternative transportation. WEMU’s Ana Longoria has more.

It may be cold outside, but using alternative transportation to get around town is still a vital component of Ann Arbor’s A2Zero Carbon Neutrality plan. That’s the idea behind the “Conquer the Cold” challenge. The challenge is organized by the 'getDowntown' program runs through February 20th. WEMU's David Fair spoke with 'getDowntown' director, Lilliane Webb, to learn more about goals and impact.
