I just got an email from our "Transportation Coordinator" about the "
Carefree Commuter Challenge". Of course they don't list motorcycles as an alternative mode of transportation. It's frustrating and I think it's complete blatant discrimination. I sent the following email to the contact they have listed on their web site (
henry@pacwestcom.com).

How come motorcycles are not listed as an alternative travel option? Motorcycles use less gas than cars which not only saves on using gasoline, but because of their fuel efficiency they emit less emissions than cars. Motorcycles are smaller than cars which reduces traffic congestion. In my opinion not including riding motorcycles or scooters in the "Carefree Commuter Challenge" is discrimination against motorized bikes and the people who choose to ride them instead of driving four wheeled motorized vehicles.
Yes, I know that bikes do not necessarily get better gas milage and emit less emissions, but most of them do and it's just plain frusterationg that motor bikes get discriminated against as a legitimate form of alternative transportation. You woudl thing that all teh greenies would be all for bikes (but they, and this, really are not about the enviroment which is another story for another day). I'll let everyone know if I get a response back.
