- Prize Limitations: Participants are eligible to win only one prize during the challenge, regardless of the number of prize categories they qualify for. If a participant qualifies for multiple prize categories, they will receive the highest-value prize they qualify for.
- Prize Allocation: Each participant is eligible to win only one prize. In the event of a tie for a specific prize category, a winner will be selected by random drawing. Participants will not receive multiple prizes across different categories.
- Prize Distribution: Prize winners will be notified via email or phone within 4 weeks after the challenge concludes. If a winner does not respond within 14 days, the prize may be forfeited, and another winner will be selected.

- Eligibility Verification: Participants may be required to provide proof of residency, employment, or school enrollment in Snohomish County (SnoCo) if requested.
- Trip Categories: Participants must clearly categorize their trips as either bike or bus on the Trip Log Calendar in RideshareOnline.com. Any mixed-mode trips should be logged accordingly (e.g., biking to a bus stop and then taking the bus).
- DART Paratransit and Zip Shuttle trips count as bus trips for the purposes of the Bike & Bus Everywhere Challenge. Participants should log each Zip Shuttle ride as a bus trip on the Trip Log Calendar at http://rideshareonline.com/ to ensure it’s counted toward their challenge participation.
