OHSU Bicyclists Score Gold
Given the fact that OHSU sits on hill 500 feet above the city, you might assume few folks prefer to bike to work.
Not so fast!
In fact, our employee/university commitment to biking is so significant, OHSU has received a gold level designation for it’s efforts.
The award was given out last month by the League of American Bicyclists at the Interbike Trade Expo in Las Vegas.
Specifically, OHSU’s efforts to encourage biking year round includes:
- Our financial incentive program to encourage bicycling
- The availability of secure bike parking facilities
- Extensive bike parking at the Portland Aerial Tram
- An interactive Web site where bicyclists can track their mileage and progress
- Free valet bike parking for bike commuters
- A seasonal bike repair shop at the foot of the Portland Aerial Tram
- Bicyclist resources, including a program liaison, maps, shower access, free bike tubes and tools
- Events, workshops and prizes
