 Walk & Bike MONTH in Boulder adds new Event! In addition to the almost 30 breakfast stations all over town on Bike to Work Day (June 25th) and the Bike to Work Day Commuter Challenge, there is a number of other events planned all month. These events include organized walks, bike rides, neighborhood events, mountain bike events, a bike film festival, concerts, bike tune-ups and maintenance classes, and bike rodeos for kids. The very popular Walk & Bike Month BINGO game, where people will walk or bike to area merchants, get their BINGO card stamped and enter to win prizes will also be featured. New this year is a great event called the "Parking Parks Day" held on Friday, June 13th. We are asking businesses in EAST BOULDER to transform just one space in your parking lot to a "park" or a place for people to eat lunch, play, relax, or do anything other than store a car. Benefits of participating: -We will help you brainstorm park ideas and give you a sign to mark your park. -Your business "park" will be featured on a playing card, and just like BINGO, people will ride around to the various "Parking Parks", have their card stamped, and then turn in their card for a prize. -Your business will be featured on the Walk & Bike Month Web site for this program and in at least one of our Walk & Bike Month ads in the Daily Camera. We expect this to get a lot of local and even national press coverage. To get an idea of what this looks like, you can watch this great, short film that shows how it was done in NYC: http://www.streetfilms.org/archives/parking-day-2007- nyc/ Please let us know if you are interested in participating. The more "Parking Parks" we have, the better and the more attention Boulder will get! Please contact Sue Prant at 303-564-9681 or e-mail | ||||

 Helping coworkers curb their car..by Ellen Orleans Whether you are a seasoned ETC or a recently drafted one, try these suggestions for helping your coworkers curb their cars. Keep Transit Info on Hand Find out what buses serve your workplace, then set aside an area on your front desk or break room for bus maps and RTD schedules. A simple Lucite holder keeps materials orderly and easy to use. In addition to comprehensive maps, GO Boulder produces specific maps for our most popular routes. Tell us what you need and we will get that to you. Remind coworkers that busing even once a month puts a dent into traffic congestion. Make Ride Sharing Visible Boulder employees who live outside of town are great candidates for carpooling. Whether you use a computer program or a basic sign up sheet to connect potential poolers, ride sharing not only saves money and frees up parking, but can boost employee efficiency and morale. How? When employees ride together, they learn from each other and gain a better understanding of the company's bigger picture. By boosting empathy, carpooling encourages cooperation among such diverse callings as accounting, programming, service, and (gasp) marketing. Encourage your fellow employees to try carpooling once a week. Small steps add up. Tomorrow, Don't Drive to Work Alone At All Poor Telework, the most misunderstood of all trip reduction programs. Just like busing and carpooling, telework does not have to be full time. In fact, the beauty of telework is its flexibility. If your coworkers use email, write evaluations, or enter data, they are prime candidates for parttime telework. Can your company implement either of these telework programs? Rush Hour Telework What would you rather do during morning rush hour? Sit in traffic contributing to CO2 emissions, or read work email at your kitchen table while savoring a second cup of coffee? Rush hour telework saves time and reduces tension by circumventing the hours when driving is least efficient. Snow Day Telework Big storm in the forecast? Smart companies play it safe by sending employees home early. Fewer work hours are lost when employees can work at home, reviewing professional literature, drafting budgets, or clearing out that overstuffed email inboxes. Encourage your HR and IT departments to make it easy for employees to log on from home. It's a benefit that costs little and helps attract a stronger workforce. | ||||
