Bike to Work Week

In 1990 the US Census "Journey to Work" survey showed that 4.3 percent of workers, or 4.9 million people, walked or rode bicycles to work. In 2000, that number dropped to 4.25 million people. But as gridlock increases, the price of fuel skyrockets, and each rush hour commuter becomes stuck in traffic for around 50 hours a year—adding up to 3.7 billion hours and 23 billion gallons of gas consumed—the many benefits of commuting under one's own power is creating change in federal policy. The US Department of Transportation adopted a transportation policy in 1990 designed to make it easier for people to bike and walk on roads and backed it with increased funding of $422 million in 2003. Bike to Work Week is endorsed by the US Department of Health and Human Services and sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists.
