1. ADOPT Resolution# 2010/236 proclaiming May 13, 2010 as Contra Costa County "Bike
to Work" Day; and
2. REQUEST County Department Heads to participate in outreach efforts for Bike to Work
Day to their employees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The objective of Bike to Work Day is to encourage County commuters to try bicycling to
work on this occasion by offering a variety of events such as a raffle for prizes and
energizer stations throughout the County. Once individuals try bicycling to work it is hoped
that they will continue to commute by bicycle to work one or more days a week. Bicycling
is an excellent form of exercise, non-polluting and an energy efficient form of
transportation.

May 17-21 is Bike to Work Week throughout California. All nine Bay Area counties are
participating in Bike to Work Day on May 13. Energizer stations providing refreshments
and educational materials to Bike to Work Day participants will be located at the Martinez
Capitol Corridor Train Station, as well as at a variety of sites throughout the County.
Although Bike to Work Day occurs the week prior to Bike to Work Week, participation in
both events is encouraged to help promote increased bicycle use. Energizer stations will be
available for Bike to Work Day only.
The attachment includes a poster for Bike to Work Day and information about the May 13
event. For more information and the location of energizer stations within the County and
