PROCLAMATION

Ride to Work Day

Whereas 	the price of fossil fuels is growing and supply is diminishing; and

Whereas 	the use of fossil fuels continues to damage our health by
pollution and our future through global warming; and

Whereas 	our infrastructure repairs fail to keep pace with its
degradation; and

Whereas 	scooters and motorcycles use less fuel, cause less pollution
and have little impact on our infrastructure; and

Whereas 	scooters and motorcycles require only a fraction of space taken
by other vehicles to park, thereby addressing an ongoing problem in our
City; and

Whereas 	for these reasons, scooters and motorcycles offer a form of
daily transportation to be encouraged; and

Whereas 	July 19, 2006 has been designated as “Ride To Work Day” to
highlight the positive daily use of scooters and motorcycles; and

Now, therefore, I, ___________, Mayor of the City of ______
do hereby proclaim July 19, 2006, to be Ride-To-Work Day and to
encourage scooter and motorcycle riders to ride to work on that day, and
pursuant thereto, do further direct that on July 19, 2006 parking at
meters and in publicly owned garages in the City of _________r will be
free of charge to motorcycles and scooters in recognition of their
utilitarian value and to encourage the daily use of those vehicles.


In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
this City to be affixed.
