RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT report on Bike to Work Day outreach efforts in Contra Costa County and DIRECT staff as appropriate.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The goal of Bike to Work Day (Friday May 9th) is to encourage County commuters to try bicycling to work on this day by offering a variety of incentives, such as a raffle for prizes and energizer stations with refreshments and educational materials for bicycle commuters throughout the County. The hope is that once individuals try bicycling to work, they will continue to commute by bicycle one or more days a week. Bicycling provides excellent exercise and is a non-polluting and energy-efficient form of transportation.
