2014 Commute Challenge

For the third straight year, Colinas Farming Company participates in the Napa Green Commute Challenge with 35 employees participating.

Last year, Colinas Farming Company had 32 participants in the Napa Commute Challenge compared to 8 in 2012. Out of the 32 employees we had 31 Commute Champions. Each one of them received a $50 reward. We had one Commute Contender who received a $25 reward. There was a tie for Most Outstanding Commuter between our employees, Juan Flores Ramos and Onias Garcia Torres (75 days using a commute alternative). Each of them received a $100 reward.

By having 20 or more Commute Champion employees, we also took home the honor of being a Commute Champion Workplace! We received a reward worth $100.

We are pleased to announce that we had six (6) employees who tied for the Most Outstanding Commuter award. They each received a $100 reward of their choice of a grocery or gas card and an award certificate. In addition, our very own Gregorio Velasquez won the $500 grand prize drawing!
