Here's what our fellow villagers of Portland, Oregon are doing to help people on low incomes into healthier, more sustainable transport.The first program of its kind in the nation, Create a Commuter (CAC) provides low-income adults with a fully-outfitted commuter bike complete with lights, a lock, a helmet, a rack, tools and all the other accessories needed for successful year-round bike commuting. The program also provides participants with five hours of safe commuting and bike maintenance training. The groundbreaking CAC program offers participants a flexible solution to meet their transportation needs, reducing barriers to work while promoting healthy activity.
