Let me know if you’d like the tone to be more formal, playful, or tailored to a specific audience!
This May, let’s make a conscious effort to stay active and do our part for the environment with the May in Motion initiative. It’s a great way to unplug from our usual routines, get moving, and make a positive impact—all at the same time.
May in Motion is a Boise, Idaho-based program that runs every May, encouraging people to rethink how they commute. With over 200,000 people driving solo to work, the city faces serious traffic, pollution, and road maintenance issues. This initiative promotes smarter, more sustainable ways to get around, like biking, walking, carpooling, or using public transit.
But you don’t have to live in Boise to take part. The idea behind May in Motion can be applied anywhere. Choosing alternative transportation isn’t just good for the planet—it’s good for your wallet and your well-being too. Transportation is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, with road travel making up a huge chunk of global carbon emissions. Even small changes, like carpooling a few times a week, can make a difference.
Beyond the environmental benefits, staying active through alternative commuting can improve your health. While Boise’s program focuses on smart commuting, you can tailor it to your own goals. Whether it’s walking more, biking with your kids, or just being more mindful of your transportation choices, the key is to keep moving and support similar efforts in your own community.
Even if your town doesn’t have a May in Motion program, chances are there’s something similar. Many cities offer bike-sharing programs or community events that promote healthy, eco-friendly lifestyles. If not, you can start small—go for family bike rides, explore local trails, or simply choose to walk instead of drive when possible.
Make May your month to get moving. If you usually have a Friday date night, try something active like a sunset bike ride, a picnic in the park, or a walk to your favorite spot. Get the whole family involved with weekend hikes, canoe trips, or beach outings. It’s not about intense workouts—it’s about enjoying the outdoors and staying active together.
And why stop in May? You can keep the momentum going all year with fun, seasonal themes. Try “Jump in January,” “Swim in September,” or “Adventure in August.” Or just pick activities you enjoy—snowboarding in February, rock climbing in July, or paddle boarding in June. The goal is to stay active in a way that fits your lifestyle.
You don’t need to hit the gym or become a marathon runner. Try something new, whether it’s solo, with a partner, or as a group. Mix and match activities and themes to create your own adventure.
May in Motion is about more than just transportation—it’s about building healthier communities, supporting the environment, and encouraging people to live more active lives. Even if you can’t bike to work every day, cutting out just one car trip a week and adding one active outing can make a real difference. So get out there, stay active, and make May in Motion your own.
