Easy commuting in Damartex

The Damart buildings are all in town and away from each other by 5.5 km maximum. Time spent commuting whether with cars or bikes are relatively the same. If we add the density of traffic, fuel consumption, the difficulties of parking and the stress of traffic jams, the choice between the two is easily made. In 2010, Damart France decided to purchase 9 electric bikes and make them available among the three buildings in Roubaix and Hem for some 1,000 employees who work there(3 total buildings).

The steps:
- Executive Committee decision of the principle and the allotted budget (1165 Euros per bike including accessories (bags, helmets, lock, puncture-resistant tires, fluorescent jackets).
- Establishment of a communication plan to inform employees and "tempt" the use of these bikes
-  Write a memo on how and what to do if something goes wrong or by accident (insurance).
- Defining the rules of lending and care of bikes (identification of the borrower, charging batteries, helmet loan, etc)
