RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution# 2009/176 proclaiming May 14, 2009 as Contra Costa County "Bike to Work" Day.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The objective of Bike to Work Day is to encourage County commuters to try bicycling to work on this occasion by offering a variety of events such as a raffle for prizes and energizer stations throughout the County. Once individuals try bicycling to work it is hoped that they will continue to commute by bicycle to work one or more days a week. Bicycling is an excellent form of exercise, non-polluting and an energy efficient form of transportation.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

May 11-15 is Bike to Work Week throughout California. All nine Bay Area counties are participating in Bike to Work Day on May 14. Energizer stations providing refreshments and educational materials to Bike to Work Day participants will be located at the Martinez Capitol Corridor Train Station, as well as at a variety of sites throughout the County.
