Sustainable pedaling

Sustainable job mobility has been identified as a priority by both government and companies with a high corporate responsibility. Easy access to jobs and low(er) environmental impact of commuter traffic are two of the main criteria for government funding of job mobility projects that have both an ecological and a social vocation.

For the Londerzeel project, local companies bought 80 bikes that will be available for employees. In cooperation with the not for profit organization Intro, a bike collect & return point will be opened near the railway station. Commuters can pick up a bike in the morning and return in the evening when they go home. The bikes will be maintained by a team of trainee-repairmen.

Van Os-Sonnevelt was one of the initiators of this joint project of the local industry association IGL, the Flemish Chambers of Commerce, industrial estate manager Haviland and the town council. We bought two bikes to give the project a kick-start.
