Bicycle Friendly Business

EasyStreet Online Services | Silver Level

Business Highlights: EasyStreet Online Services provides employees with an annual transit pass to allow bike-transit-bike commutes for far-flung employees, showers, indoor bicycle parking for employees and customers,  maintenance tools, repair stand, spare parts/tubes. There is also a company bicycle for employee use. And noontime lunch/picnic group rides are common throughout the spring & summer months.  EasyStreet generously supports local bicycle-oriented non-profit organizations through donating internet access, data center and IT services. Many of these organizations are also assisted by EasyStreet employees as board members. The business participates in annual bicycle commute competitions. Employees are surveyed annually to collect ideas for bicycle-related activities and programs.

Most Compelling Bike-Related Statistic: Twenty Seven percent of employees participated in at least one bicycling-related EasyStreet activity during the last year.

Most Compelling Accomplishment: EasyStreet Online Services hosted six noontime lunch/picnic rides during the summer of 2009 and had 35 total participants, many of whom were not bicycle commuters. Several participants who live too far away brought in their bicycles to participate. The rides highlighted many of the local off-street paths and one ride involved a transit connection.

Benefits from Being a Bike Friendly Business:
EasyStreet's bicycling activities, and the BFB award in particular, complement the business's key value of doing the right thing for their health, the environment and the community. It demonstrates that this business "walks the talks" and helps support their other awards, such as one of "Oregon's Most Admired" and "Top Green Places to Work in Oregon."
