Event Details

The game is on. Join in for a Clean Transportation Scavenger Hunt as part of the Global Climate Action Summit, happening this week in San Francisco.

Follow clues, snap pictures, share your photos on Twitter/Instagram and win prizes. Event runs until 5pm Friday, September 14.

HOW TO PLAY:

  1. Sign the waiver
  2. Search For Clues: Use the clues below to identify different forms of clean transportation in SF. Answer just four clues to win.
  3. Snap A Pic: Take a photo that represents each answer.
  4. Share Your Photos: Post your photos on Twitter or Instagram – tag #GCASScavengerHunt to be eligible for prizes.

THE CLUES:
Answers may be a transportation mode, hub, or infrastructure.

  1. I go above and below ground, both in and outbound. My favorite letters are JKLMNT.
  2. We run off 100% pedal power (unless we’ve got an electric boost). Research shows people who use us have some of the happiest commutes.
  3. We’ve got rubber tires and we’re connected to overhead wires. Our power comes from SF’s hydroelectric Hetch Hetchy Water and Power system.
  4. I’m the oldest way to get around, and I’m the sole mode of transportation that’s universally affordable.
  5. We’re world famous, tourists love us, and we provide transit service to some of San Francisco’s hilliest neighborhoods.
  6. I’m a form of mass transit that requires no wheels, cables, or tracks.
  7. I’m brand new and have a rooftop park and a bus terminal. In the future I’ll connect you to Caltrain and High-Speed Rail.
  8. Roll out the red carpet… I’m a designated lane that gives thousands of bus riders a quicker, smoother ride all hours of the day.
  9. I don’t have spiky yellow hair — or get around town on a skateboard — but I do carry 27,000 people per hour under the SF bay at rush hour.
  10. I’m a special lane that helps you navigate the road while using a super-clean bi-pedal mode.
  11. My nickname is “accordion,” and I hold about 50% more passengers than my smaller counterparts.
  12. Red, yellow, green, blue: We came from Boston, Melbourne and Milan to you.
