With the help of Bike Erie and the Erie County Department of Health (ECDH), your business, university, nonprofit or other type of organization can get the help it needs to become a Bicycle Friendly Employer. Through this program, we are working to build a supportive and diverse network of Erie businesses and organizations that recognize the benefits of bicycling for employee health, productivity, corporate sustainability, and economic growth. Initially, this program will be offered to a few organizations on a rolling basis due to our limited resources.
The program will feature ongoing efforts to bolster an employer’s performance in our three key areas of focus: Education + Support, Encouragement + Fun and Infrastructure + Policy. Through the this program, Bike Erie focuses on bringing local, state and national recognition to participating Erie employers for their outstanding efforts, and, in doing so show that in Erie, “Bikes Mean Business”. Ultimately, our goal is to help employers in Erie to be able to successfully achieve the League of American Bicyclist’s Bicycle Friendly Business status.
