Bicycle Friendly Business

In-Situ Inc. | Bronze Level

Business Highlights: In-Situ encourages employees to bike to work by offering a Guaranteed Ride Home program, cash incentives for bike commuters, an accessible shower facility and discounted gym membership. The company has a fleet of bikes that also include helmets, locks and baskets. The company’s volunteer bike coordinator helps lead efforts to organize a commuter challenge and provides commuters with a breakfast on Bike to Work Day. In-Situ promotes safety by bringing in a bike shop employee who teaches safe riding skills and maintenance class to employees. Employees who participate in the Electronic Transportation Tracking Program qualify for an internal raffle. In-Situ has supported the City of Fort Collins "FC Bikes" Department by attending organizational meetings for city-sponsored bike events and dispersing this material to their employees. The business spreads the word about bicycle safety and events through companywide e-mails, promotional marterials and informational posters in break areas. Efforts to support bicycling are supported by the company’s Wellness Program and Green Iinitiatives, which has increased employee health statistics. In-Situ was recognized by the local Chamber of Commerce as the 2009 Environmental Business Award for a small company and a ClimateWise Silver level Partner. The bicycling community at In-Situ continues to grow as top management recognizes the benefits of bicycling and is budgeting appropriately for bike-related improvements and events.
