ATP TAKEAWAY: Happy October! Here's what you need to know for this coming month.

Well, it’s officially Fall everyone - bring on the apple cider and pumpkin lattes! We hope you were able to get out and enjoy some of the events we mentioned last month, however if not, there’s plenty going on in October plus some new features ATP would like to highlight.

If you did not get a chance to attend our “Prepare Your Commute” seminar last week, there is still an opportunity for your company or residential property to attend the 2nd session this Wednesday, October 3rd from 12 to 1pm in Crystal City. For companies, assisting employees in finding alternative commute options and having an emergency preparedness policy in place is critical to maintaining productivity and keep business running as usual. Join us on Wednesday to learn about different tips and strategies you can use to incorporate transportation into your emergency preparedness plan. You can also check out the emergency commute planner checklist. There are limited spots available for the seminar so make sure to RSVP today!

Arlington Fun Ride flyer thumbnailBikeArlington is hosting the last of their Fall sessions of Two Wheel Tuesdays this month, starting tomorrow night at 7pm in Shirlington. If you haven’t made it to one of these get-togethers yet, October is a great time to learn about a variety of bike-related topics, including safety, city cycling tips, proper equipment, and bike routes, to name a few. If you are fairly new to biking in Arlington, these sessions are for you!

The 2012 Arlington Fun Ride is being held this Saturday October 6th and is hosted by the non-profit organization, Phoenix Bikes. This family-friendly, 17 mile scenic bike ride will check out the various trails throughout Arlington, with plenty of time for breaks at three different rest stops where there will be coffee and snacks to refuel. There is also a children’s ride and other activities that are being held later in the morning. Register the whole family today!
