Having trouble sparking meaningful engagement in your mobility community? Community Challenges are an easy, fun way to bring members together and inspire participation. Use these templates to run playful, motivating challenges that get everyone in motion.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Community Challenges tap into our natural desire for friendly competition and shared achievement. By presenting members with achievable, interesting tasks, you lower the barrier to participation and encourage even quieter members to get involved. Challenges foster a sense of camaraderie, helping members bond as they strive towards similar goals and celebrate each other's successes.
This content type is especially effective in the mobility industry, where learning new habits, skills, or routines can be daunting alone. By making challenges lighthearted and rewarding, you motivate members to try new things, reinforce positive behavior, and keep coming back for more. The promise of recognition or a small reward further boosts motivation, turning passive community members into active participants.

Choose a template that fits your community's interests and current topics. Announce the challenge with clear instructions and a welcoming, playful tone. Set a realistic time frame and let members know how they can share their progress or results. Offer a small reward, badge, or public recognition for participation to boost motivation. Keep an eye on responses and engage with participants directly to keep up momentum.
For all platforms, use visuals to illustrate challenges when possible. Pin challenge posts to keep them visible. Use hashtags or dedicated threads for easy tracking. Respond quickly to member updates and celebrate progress publicly to sustain energy.
You can leverage challenge prompts that invite members to share their experiences with electric scooters, bikes, or car-sharing schemes. For example, use templates that ask participants to compare e-bike routes, share tips for maximizing battery efficiency, or discuss barriers they've faced using micro-mobility in their city. This fosters engagement focused on current trends in sustainable transportation.
Choose templates that enable members to track and share their daily mix of transport modes—such as cycling to a train station, using ride-hailing for the last mile, or integrating public transport with walking. Encourage posts that highlight pain points or wins in combining multiple mobility services, and ask for suggestions to improve the multimodal experience.
Select templates that prompt discussion about real-world accessibility—like rating station elevators, bus ramp functionality, or the availability of accessible shared vehicles. Encourage members to post photos or stories about accessibility successes and gaps, and invite suggestions for community-driven improvements.
Absolutely. Use discussion prompts that invite users to compare features like integrated ticketing, route optimization, or real-time vehicle tracking. Ask members to share their experiences with reliability, app usability, or customer support, and to vote on which MaaS platforms best meet their mobility needs.
Leverage templates that invite personal stories and opinions about recent policy changes—such as how congestion charges have affected commuting habits or whether new infrastructure like bike lanes has improved safety. Encourage debate and solution-sharing while providing context on how these policies impact daily mobility.
Create challenge posts that invite members to share their experiences finding charging stations, dealing with range anxiety, or navigating different charging networks. Use prompts that ask for tips on optimizing charging schedules or collaborating on community maps of reliable EV chargers. This taps into a unique concern of the mobility sector.
