Partners Encourage Use of MetroBikeLink System During National Bike to Work Week
BELLEVILLE - St. Clair County Transit District and Citizens for Modern Transit are gearing up for National Bike to Work Week (May 12-19) by reminding area residents that bicycling to work is easier than ever thanks to the availability of the MetroBikeLink System. It boasts 39 miles of paved bike pathways in St. Clair County, Ill., that directly connect to six Metro Transit Centers, offering seamless integration of bike and transit use via MetroBus or MetroLink to get to thousands of places of employment in the bi-state region. To help spread the word and encourage participation, partners are asking those who bike to work to post photos to social media platforms using #BringYourBikeOnBoard . Street teams will be at the Shiloh-Scott, Belleville and Fairview Heights Transit Centers on Monday, May 12 from 6 to 8 a.m. passing granola bars out to morning commuters, along with information about the MetroBikeLink System and the #BringYourBikeOnBoard effort.
