So what is this Active4.me thing,
anyway?
THE ZAP!
Active4.me (formerly the Boltage Program) is a bicycling and walking incentive program for elementary and middle school aged kids. Kids sign-up for the program through a teacher, school staff person, or parent using the paper registration form (see Ms. Durst) or online here.
A solar powered computer mounted on a pole at the school (called THE ZAP, see photo on left) keeps track of how many days you bike or walk to school. THE ZAP also counts calories burned and estimates your mileage, based upon the distance you bike to school.
At certain trip and mileage markers, students are eligible for prizes. Prizes include wrist bands, cinch packs, slap bracelets, reflective zipper pulls, bike lights, pedometers, and bike locks. Students also receive certificates of recognition for 50+, 100+, and 200+ miles.

Students can register for the program as either a 'walker' or 'biker.' Students who both walk and bike to school should register under the mode that they use the most.
