Improving the infrastructure to promote bicycling is a relatively inexpensive, small scale change that supports alternative transportation. By increasing bicycle access to your stadium for fans and employees, your team can help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution on game days, which benefits the environment as well as the health of fans, employees, and players. Bicycling also helps keep people healthier through exercise, which can lower medical expenditures by employees who bike.

The transportation sector is one of the main sources of smog, carbon monoxide, global warming, and harmful particles that can cause respiratory illnesses and other health problems. Bicycling reduces all of these impacts, saves money, and is a healthy way to begin and end the day.
