Movers and shakers

J-U-B Engineers placed first in the Coeur d’Alene Parks and Recreation Department’s 2016 Bike to Work Week Corporate Challenge, held June 6 through June 10. The win marks the third year in a row J-U-B has had the highest percent of bicycle commuters for companies with 10 to 49 employees. J-U-B cyclists eliminated 56 car trips by riding to work instead of driving.

“This is a group that likes to lead by example,” said Chris Horgan, who coordinates J-U-B’s Bike to Work Week efforts. “I think it shows that J-U-B employees are passionate about non-motorized transportation and realize how important it is in our community.”

The objective of the Bike to Work Week Corporate Challenge is to have the highest percentage of bicycle riders and walkers throughout the week compared to similarly sized firms. Prizes are awarded in three categories: Under 10 Employees, 10 to 49 Employees, and over 50 Employees. The overall goal is to reduce car trips and promote bicycle commuting.
