Just added! Now you can earn Badges by using ConnectSmart to improve your daily travel around town! Badges acknowledge and celebrate your accomplishments and milestones using ConnectSmart. For example, you can earn the Eco Hero Badge by taking sustainable actions in the app, such as cycling or riding the bus to your destination to reduce your carbon emissions. The best part about your earned Badges is that they accumulate over time, remain in your account, and can be shared to display what you’ve earned!
How Do I Earn the Eco Hero Badge?
To find the Badges section, click on the trophy in the upper lefthand corner of the app and select Badges under Achievements.
To qualify for the Eco Hero Badge, you must reduce your CO2 emissions by 100 lbs via non-solo-driving, riding transit, riding your bike, or walking with the app.
Tapping the Badge will reveal a progress bar for you to see how close you are to this amount. You can also check your emissions in the Trip Log page.
When you earn this Badge it will go from grey to colored in your list of Badges.
What’s Next?
We’ll be running different Challenges throughout the year and you can also complete actions to earn the 8 other available Badges. Coming soon, complete the Green Challenge Bingo Game to earn rewards. Keep an eye out for our next announcement to see what other opportunities are coming your way!
If you still need to download the ConnectSmart app, you can do it here: Apple App Store or Google Play. Don’t forget to use ConnectSmart to help you explore all that Houston has to offer while making better choices by trying out sustainable modes of travel to help our environment by reducing traffic emissions!
