Ozark Greenways Announces Bicycle Friendly Business Program

At its March 31, 2015 Annual Meeting, Ozark Greenways unveiled the Ozark Greenways Bicycle Friendly Business program.  With the unveiling, two inaugural recipients were announced – Bambino’s Café and Frisco Trail Mini Storage/Bike Depot.

Ozark Greenways Bicycle Friendly Business

The Bicycle Friendly Business program recognizes businesses that support bicycling for their patrons, employees and Springfield as a whole.  Businesses can either be nominated or apply for themselves through an application available at the Ozark Greenways offices (830 N. Boonville) and eventually on Ozark Greenways’ soon to be redesigned website. 

The Ozark Greenways STAR Team (Sustainable Transportation Advocacy Resource Team) will review applications on a monthly basis as they are received.  Designation periods will run concurrent with Springfield’s Bicycle Friendly Community Status, which, right now, is through 2017. 

Businesses will be recognized through the Ozark Greenways website and will receive a decal they can put on the door of their business. 

Ozark Greenways would like to extend a big congratulations to both Bambino’s Café and Frisco Trail Mini Storage/Bike Depot on their efforts to promote and support bicycling in the Springfield area.
