About Bikes for Job Access
Bicycles greatly increase the mobility of those who are on a limited income and/or looking for work. Bus transit is spotty in Hartford suburbs, and particularly inadequate for those working the second or third shift or on weekends.
BiCi Co. works with Hartford transition programs, local shelters, and the Center for Latino Progress’ job training programs to identify those who would benefit from using a bicycle to get to work. Participants are referred by their program (using a simple online form) and chip in $20, which may be sponsored by their referring organization. They receive an up-cycled bicycle, a secure lock, bicycle lights, and a helmet.
2021 Update – Forty-six ‘Bikes for Jobs’ were connected to participants in 2021. The referral form is active, and the program is funded through 2022. Let’s roll!
