Re: Looking for Ideas for Bike to Work Week Celebration Stations

Portable showers will be a new for this year's event (May 14th), so I can't give you figures on their use. However, our idea is if we get a good response on the rented showers to look into the feasibility of permanent ones.

We also have an event each year. Previously we've had a breakfast station and given away water bottles. This year we are also looking into renting portable showers for those who take alternative transportation methods to work. You may also contact bikesonoma.org for more ideas.

Re: Research on Alternative Commute End Use Facilities
2009-01-28 09:24:00 UTC
I do know that current LEED giudelines award points toward certification when a new building accomodates commuters who use alternative methods. These points vary as to the silver, gold, or platinum certification the owners are aiming for and are based on number of total employees, proximity to the building being served, storage and changing rooms.
However, most of our buildings are existing, so we are sort of putting the cart before the horse.
Thanks for the information.

Research on Alternative Commute End Use Facilities
2009-01-26 12:29:49 UTC
I am doing research on end use facilities which may include showers, changing rooms, clothes storage, and locker facilities; perhaps even a bicycle tune-up station.
We are looking for information on best practices and lessons learned. Specifically, we are looking for detailed information on:
Estimating size and utilization rates
Preferred locations for the facilities
Design options vs. complete pre-fabricated units (if available)
Construction cost
Funding options
Best practices and successes
Unplanned obstacles and inconveniences
Any other information which may be relevant that you wish to add.
Does anyone have anything they could share with me regarding their end use facility?
Thanks,

Take a look at this website. I really like the idea. It lists the miles ridden/carbon offset/ country ranking/ number of people that cycle instead of using a car. Perhaps creating a NZ club would inspire people. http://worldcommute.com/

I have been doing research on a system that would handle kitchen and dining room waste for one of our correctional facilities. Perhaps you will find this article interesting, and you might be able to see Mr. Smith-Sebasto's system. http://www.montclair.edu/news/article.php?ArticleID=1661
Thanks,
Mary
