Title: Bikes

This image is so wow.  You see, Austin Power gives everybody who buys an electric car or  bike MONEY!  So, why can't JEA give us the same deal.  The deal is you have to live in Travis County.  So, What's Up Duval?

I counted...64900 bike... Austin city Limist music concert 65000 attended .  I want to the names and numbers of the 100 people who did ride a bike. Could you image if even 1/50 of that number took an alt. Mode of transportation to a Jags game?

The park and ride lots to the games are usually pretty packed.  I know the NAS Jax lot was oftern swamped before they scrapped it after 911.

I think people in Jax want to get out of their cars when they can but a bus is not always a considered option.  If the skyway went to the sports district and was linked to the burbs via urban/commuter rail, parking at the games would be easy to find because a lot of people would likely ride the train.

Does the city offer a credit for buying Alt. Source cars/bikes/scooters?
