District of Sooke Launches Bike Rack for Business Program: Apply Today!
The District of Sooke is excited to announce the launch of its Bike Rack for Business Program, a pilot project to support local businesses and promote sustainable transportation. Through this initiative, a limited number of public bike racks will be fabricated and provided (installation included) to local businesses at no cost, funded through the District’s Climate Action Program.
Businesses interested in receiving a bike rack can submit an online application form to express their interest. This is a great opportunity to enhance accessibility for customers, promote eco-friendly transportation, and contribute to the District’s efforts to reduce emissions and create a more sustainable community.
“We’re providing another option for easier access to connect with and support local businesses. When talking with businesses to inform the Community Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan, business operators identified a limited bike parking as a barrier,” says Community Economic Development Officer Gail Scott. “We’re happy to alleviate one obstacle as we continue to grow our local economy and support multi-modal transportation options.”
The program is available on a first-come, first-served basis, so businesses are encouraged to apply early.
How to Apply:
Interested businesses can submit their online application to express their interest in participating in the program. The program will remain open until all units are claimed.
Program funding is provided by the provincial Local Government Climate Action Program.
