Bicycle South Central Pennsylvania (BSCPA) recently awarded its Bicycle Champion Award to Commuter Services of Pennsylvania. The award honors outstanding leaders, advocates and organizations that made significant contributions to improving and encouraging bicycle transportation in southcentral Pennsylvania.
Commuter Services of Pennsylvania earned the award for the work it has done to promote cycling throughout the region. It offers incentives during bike month; the Free Ride Home program, which helps cyclists who have emergencies and cannot ride back home; and tips on safety and bike commuting. It also provides resources for employers who want to encourage active transportation modes for their employees. In addition, Laura Heilman, vanpool, bicycle and pedestrian outreach manager for Commuter Services of Pennsylvania, is spearheading the BSCPA Bicycle Safety Initiative, which encourages the sharing of successful programs throughout the PennDOT District 8 area.
The award was presented on March 16 at the Bicycle South Central Pennsylvania Bike Summit held at Dickinson College in Carlisle.
