Bicycle Friendly Business

Avtech Corporation | Bronze Level

Business Highlights: "All of my decisions regarding work and housing revolved around my ability to commute by bicycle and I consider Avtech's proximity to the Burke-Gilman Trail ideal" said one Avtech engineer. Avtech embraces its proximity to the popular Seattle trail by also providing secure indoor bike parking, showers, a bike repair station, and complementary maintenance supplies. The business emphasizes and encourages bicycling as a preferred transportation option in their new carbon reduction program. Bike to Work Month is a spectacular event assisting participants with shirts, water bottles, jerseys, seat bags and tool kits. Nearly 6 percent of the employees bike to work at least twice a week in the summer months.

Upcoming Plans: Avtech plans to offer bicycle commuter and maintenance classes and offer assistance for employees to become League Certified Instructors.
