Bike 2 Work Public Service Announcement

Bike 2 Work for Major Employers

The City of Tucson and Pima Association of Governments, sponsors of Bike Fest 2008, invites all major employers in the region to promote a healthier environment by sponsoring Bike 2 Work events at their work site. Biking to work reduces congestion and air pollution and helps your employees live a longer and healthier life. Be part of a national event that brings cyclists out all over the country.

Here's How to join in the celebration:

1. Register your workplace by March 21, 2008. Contact Tom Thivener, City of Tucson, 837-6691 or tom.thivener@tucsonaz.gov
2. Promote Bike Fest and Bike 2 Work Day at your work site. Feel free to call if you need help.
3. All bikers register online at http://www.dot.tucsonaz.gov/bikefest. Register by April 11 to win cool prizes.
4. On April 11 greet your bike commuters with a reward. Breakfast will certainly be appreciated.
5. Take pictures of all your activities and email or send them in. You’ll then get a new bike to raffle off to your bike commuters.

Be sure to encourage your bikers to stop at one of the Bike 2 Work locations for a $10 gift certificate to Bookman’s.

1. Downtown in front of the main library
2. Eastside at Bristol Coffeebus, Broadway and Craycroft
