No. The app is designed to use very minimal battery and data. Trips are recorded efficiently in the background, and we delay processing until after your drive is complete. If you connect to Wi-Fi, the app will use Wi-Fi to upload trip data instead of cellular whenever possible - helping reduce data usage even further.
You’ll be automatically added to Team Washington when you download the Safe Roads Challenge app and select Washington as your State of Residence. No extra steps needed.

iOS Users: Go to your device's settings, scroll down to Safe Roads Challenge, click on Location, select 'Always' for location access, and turn the 'Precise Location' toggle on. The next step is to ensure that your Motion & Fitness is set to On. To find the Motion and Fitness setting go to device settings select Privacy & Security, go to Motion & Fitness and click Fitness Tracking to On. In addition to these settings, low power mode needs to be turned off as that will interfere with Trips recording in the background of your phone.
Android Users: Go to your device's settings and scroll down to Apps. From there, find and select Safe Roads Challenge, turn your location on to 'Always Allow' and set your Motion and Fitness to On. For Trips to record properly, battery optimization has to be turned off for Safe Roads Challenge. To do this, return to the Apps section of settings, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner, select Special Access, choose Optimize Battery Usage, click on the dropdown beside 'Apps not Optimized' and choose All. Scroll down to Safe Roads Challenge and turn the toggle to Off.
