Downtown Tigard Bike Rack Project

Do you shop in downtown Tigard? Do you cycle to downtown Tigard only to search for a safe place to lock up your bike? Do you simply want more bike racks in Tigard?

The WTA, the City of Tigard and Metro are partnering to make downtown Tigard more bike friendly. The WTA will install up to 35 bike racks in front of stores by May, 2010.

Why are we offering these bicycle racks?

The WTA is committed to:

• Reduce drive-alone trips
• Recognize that Tigard is a bike friendly community
• Increase awareness and raise acceptability of bicycle commuting
• Support local retailers in Tigard
• Offer even more support to your employees who choose to cycle to work
• Promote healthy, active lifestyle choices for transportation

How can you help?

Spend just a couple of hours asking store owners in downtown Tigard if they would be interested in having a FREE bike rack installed in front of their store. The benefits are obvious, so they should be interested.

Please print out our informational flyer to give to the store owners.
and please print a store list to keep track of the stores.

Once you have finished speaking to the store owners, please send us your list of store owners to follow up with.

How will we measure the success of the bicycle racks?

We will provide a in short survey for the bicycle rack users that will be located in the retailer's storefront. The retailers will simply collect the survey cards which will be picked up or sent into the WTA at a date to be determined.
