COMMUTER INCENTIVE PROGRAMS
Workout to Work - BIKE

Did you know...

Biking is actually safer than driving,

Biking helps you avoid traffic and get to work faster,

The average person burns 200 calories during a light, 30 minute bike ride,

You save money on gas, and it costs NOTHING to park a bike!

Bicycle commuting is an easy way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide you emit into the air because commuting by bike is a zero-emissions transportation alternative. The U.S. government's Energy Information Administration calculates that the United States alone released 5,890 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2006.

Workout to Work - Earn Prizes and Gift Certificates for Tracking Miles Commuted by Bike:
Track your miles to earn monthly prizes by cycle commuting to/from work or a transit stop. Sample prizes include briefcases, bags, travel kits, beverage tumblers, energy packs and more. Submit your miles each month via the link on the menu above.  Register here.

Guaranteed Ride Home - Have a Ride Home When the Weather is Bad:
Sign up for the Guaranteed Ride Home Program and as a cycle commuter you can use your ride in the case of inclement weather.  The program provides you with a free ride via a taxi up to six times a year in case of an emergency, illness or unexpected overtime while at work.  For cycle commuters only, you can use the program if the weather conditions make it unsafe to ride home from work.

Bicycle Buddy Program:
The Seaport TMA is looking for experienced bicycle commuters who are familiar with their bike commute to volunteer as a Bicycle Buddy.

We will match Bicycle Buddies with fellow cyclists who have yet to try biking to work. If there is someone who matches your commute you will
set up a mutually convenient time and place to meet so that you can bike to work together at least one time.

The goal is to encourage fellow cyclists who have never biked to work before to try it, help them become familiar with a route, and to encourage them to make bicycle commuting a regular part of their routine.  If you are interested in serving as a Bicycle Buddy please register here.

Health Club Subsidy Program - Coming Soon!
Many employers do not provide shower facilities for their employees (but we applaud those who do). If you're in need of a place to freshen up when you arrive at work by bike, sign up for the Seaport TMA's subsidy program. We'll provide you with a $20 coupon to use towards a monthly locker room membership at Wave Health & Fitness at the Seaport Hotel.
