5 Things on Friday – Jan 31, 2014

January 31, 2014 By Editor

Another 5 Things on Friday and time to share 5 cool things found this week by wandering aimlessly around the Internet. This weeks gems include some Mario mapping, super bowl fun, an awesome trip planning tool,  an effort to stop bullying, and some funny videos from a cool, rugged device


DrCOG And Way To Go Unveil First Of Its Kind Trip Planning tool
The Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) Way to Go program debuts the one-stop shop that allows commuters to easily and comprehensively compare their trip options and make informed choices. Users can simply enter their trip information to quickly see their commute options and compare travel time, distance, cost, and health benefits, including calories burned and CO2 generated.

“Market research indicates that one of the key barriers for people even considering other options is the difficulty in finding good information. Visiting multiple websites to explore options, calculate costs and incorporate other variables makes it more work than people think it’s worth,” said Schaufele. “We’re removing that barrier.”
