May is Bike To Work Month and to help celebrate Starbucks is one of the many companies in Seattle that will be hosting a Bike To Work Day Commuter Station. At the Commuter Station bicyclist and other visitors can stop by to get information about bike routes around the area, bicycle education provided by Cascade Bicycle Club volunteers, free giveaway prizes, event merchandise as well as beverages and snacks provided by Starbucks.
Last year Starbucks had 19,000 visitors at their station and they are looking to top that this year! The Starbucks Bike To Work Day Commuter Station will be open from 6 am – 9 am on Friday May 16th and located at the SODO Starbucks HQ on 1st Ave S & S Stacy. Starbucks is looking forward to seeing you come on out & show your support!

A Whole New Meaning to Going
Green
Are your employees stuck
in traffic? Employer Rewards is a program that can keep your employees
moving while reducing emissions. Employer Rewards has seed money for your
company to start a Commuter Benefit program at your workplace. The TMA
will be hosting workshops this spring to provide details of the program.
Reserve your spot at a workshop by calling or sending an email to Erin
Evetts @ 206-762-2470 or duwamishtma@qwest.net with your name and contact
information.
Cool Website
We were told
about a cool website that has traffic conditions for the entire US. The
information seems to be very "up to the minute". Check out
www.maps.live.com and click on the Traffic button in the blue banner on
the top-left on the map. This software is a Microsoft Virtual Earth
product. Pretty cool stuff!
