Cyclists Needed to Count Cyclists

July 13, 2006

From Jessica Roberts of the BTA

Portland bicycling friends,
Roger Geller, Portland's "bike czar," wants to increase the number of bike count locations this year so we can get an even better sense of how many Portlanders are biking and where they ride. He needs some volunteer help to make it happen.

Hopefully some of you will be willing to spend a couple hours helping him out. This data is essential when we're making the case that bicyclists are a real, growing and legitimate part of Portland's transportation system.

WHAT:
The City of Portland is seeking volunteers to spend two hours counting bicyclists at key bikeway intersections. It's easy, it's fun to watch the
cyclists stream by, and it helps provide us with great information about changes in bicycling activity. The City will provide a quick training and
pizza for volunteers!

WHEN:
Pizza and Training:
6 pm Tuesday, July 25, 2006
Portland Building (1120 S.W. 5th Ave.)
Broadway Room, 9th Floor

RSVP: To attend the training, please respond by Monday July 24, 2006 to Crista Gardner at: Crista.Gardner@pdxtrans.org (503.823.1088).

For more info, see the BTA blog.

Bike on,
Jessica
