So your workplace has been participating in the Bike Commute Challenge for years. You’ve gotten employee bike parking installed, and maybe even established a bike commuter benefit or incentives for riding to work. What’s next? Make a pledge to support the BTA and create better biking well beyond your office doors.
The BTA creates healthy, sustainable communities by making bicycling safe, convenient, and accessible, and we want you to join us, either as an individual or as a business member. This year we invite businesses to pledge support to the BTA based on your goals for the Bike Commute Challenge. How many new riders do you hope to get logging trips this year? How many miles do you think your team can collectively log? If your company’s total pledge equals $250 or more, you’re entitled to all the benefits of being a BTA Business Member!
Join these two great companies in taking the next step for an even better future for bike commuting!
Ecos helps their clients design and implement methods to reduce energy and water use, manage carbon emissions and improve environmental sustainability. Last year during the Challenge, Ecos hosted lunchtime workshops and rides, posted bike commuter profiles on a wall of pride, and rewarded participants with prizes including paid time off!
The BTA thanks Ecos for their 2010 pledge of $1 per trip their team logs this September!
The work of SERA Architects is located at the intersection of people, place, and planet. During the 2008 Bike Commute Challenge, they launched a smaller (but fierce!) competition within the Challenge between Portland design firms for the Belluschi Cup. Sera Archtects track their bike commutes year round, and recently their team ordered company custom bike jerseys.
The BTA thanks SERA Architects for their pledge of $4 per team member participating in the 2010 Challenge!
Is supporting healthy, active, sustainable transportation part of your company’s values? What’s the right pledge for you?
The 2009 Ecos Bike Commute Challenge Team
Here’s what I want when I click on this link, or search “Bike Commute Challenge” on your website search link: INFO, not a story.
Challenge start date, how to register, link to mileage log website. Not that an article isn’t a nice addition to the necessary info for the few who want to read it, but really, the nitty-gritty details aren’t here at all!?!
Thanks for your feedback. Please log into http://www.bikecommutechallenge.com for all the nitty-gritty details!
So is SERA pledging $4 per team member participating in the Challenge?”
i.e. if 10 people participate, the BTA gets $40
vs ECOS it is $1 per trip each person makes? i.e.
10 people participate for the month i.e. 20 work days = $200?
Just trying to figure out what you are saying as both descriptions are a little ambiguous.
Also, It would be nice to be able to challenge other riders by looking up a business instead of their last name. i.e you know someone who works at ABC Graphics and would like to challenge them, but you only know their first name is Bob. –Right now, I don’t know how to find that person in the list.
