FORT MYERS, FL
– Florida's Governor Charlie Crist has proclaimed March as Florida
Bicycle Month. In this same month, Harvey Software, a strong supporter
of green transportation, has been awarded Honorable Mention as a Bicycle
Friendly Business by the League of American Bicyclists, a leading
bicycle advocacy group. A Bicycle Friendly Business actively promotes
bicycling for transportation, recreation, exercise, and sport while
practicing social responsibility by weaving bicycling into the business
culture and giving employees the opportunity to be actively responsible
for their personal and environmental health through bicycling.
The Bicycle Friendly Business program judges applicants’ efforts to
promote bicycling in four primary areas: encouragement, education,
engineering, and evaluation. This includes evaluations of bicycle and
rider access, safety programs, benefits for bike commuters and an
assessment of future plans.
"Harvey Software is looking for ways to do its part to lessen the impact
of business on the environment," said Mr. Bert Hamilton, Harvey Software
President and CEO. "This includes making shipping software that helps
clients to ship wisely plus acting as a company to try everything we can
to minimize our own impact. We find this is good for both our
environment and as a profitable long term mission. As part of our
mission we feel it is important to give our employees the opportunity to
contribute and reap the many benefits," Mr. Hamilton continued. "This is
our first time to apply for this award. Since our bicycle facilities and
efforts are new, we are very happy to receive the 2009 Honorable Mention
from the League of American Bicyclist. We are also very excited to
continue on with our efforts," Mr. Hamilton concluded.
