ATP Takeaway:  The Bicycle Friendly Business (BFB) program recognizes businesses for making bicycling more accessible for employees and the community. With the next enrollment deadline coming up on October 28, now is a great time to get started with Arlington Transportation Partners' (ATP) support.  

 

 

For many employees, the commute doesn't end when they arrive at the office. Where they park their bike, whether they have a place to change, and how easy it is to combine biking with transit can all shape whether biking becomes a regular part of their routine.

Creating a bike-friendly workplace doesn't necessarily require a major investment. Sometimes, it starts with taking a closer look at what your employees’ need and identifying where your current transportation program can do more.

A bike-friendly workplace can take many forms. Secure bike parking gives employees peace of mind during workdays. Showers and changing areas can make commuting by bike more practical. Access to Capital Bikeshare can help employees make shorter trips without bringing their own bicycle. Events, educational resources, and encouragement can also help employees feel more comfortable choosing a bike for their commute.

Whether your organization already has a strong bike program or is just beginning to build one, the BFB process can help identify opportunities to improve.

Applicants receive feedback and assistance to help their businesses become more bicycle friendly, while earning recognition for the work they are already doing.

Consider Enrolling Today!

The next BFB application deadline is October 28. So now is a good time to look at what your organization is already doing for your bike commuters and where there may be opportunities to do more.
