Wheels4Wellness Bike Sharing pilot program rolls out
Offers House employees free, convenient alternative transportation that benefits their health
The office of the House Chief Administrative Officer announced the launch of a new bicycle-sharing pilot program that will encourage House employees to use alternative transportation and get more exercise.
“We’re excited to offer this benefit to our employees,” CAO Dan Beard said. “We hope this benefit in turn will benefit their health.”
The Wheels4Wellness program will allow employees to checkout bicycles from self-service racks in six locations on the House side of the Capitol including from Lot One behind the Cannon House Office Building, Lot 4 behind the Rayburn House Office Building and Lot 9 across from the Ford House Office Building.
Participants can use the bikes for up to 12 hours to travel to meetings, lunch or to run congressional errands. The program’s 30 bikes will be equipped with lights, odometers and baskets.
House employees can sign up for the new program at the House Staff Fitness Center.
