> Hello fellow advocates,
> 
> Big news today from BART - the "no bike blackout" pilot we have been working on with SFBC, Bikes on Board and BART is finally official.  Here is a full run down on the pilot:
> 
> http://www.ebbc.org/BikesOnBART
> http://www.sfbike.org/main/bart-announces-pilot-to-lift-rush-hour-bike-ban/
> 
> We and the SFBC are starting immediately to recruit volunteers to help make this pilot run smoothly on these August Fridays, and to collect surveys on the platforms.  Please spread the word about this hugely exciting news, about the need for all of us to be great "bike ambassadors" on BART on these Fridays, and ask people to volunteer.  Feel free to point people to our volunteer sign up page at:
> 
> http://www.ebbc.org/BoBvolunteer
> 
> Many thanks to BART Directors Robert Raburn and Tom Radulovich for leading the charge on this, to Leah and Dani at the SFBC for being in the trenches with us working out the details of this pilot and the communications plan, to Dr. Shirley Johnson, Jon Spangler and the rest of the Bikes on Board crew for their great leadership, and to the BART staff especially the amazing Steve Beroldo.
> 
> Please let me or Dani know if you have any questions about this and if there is anything we can do to help you help us spread the word and recruit volunteers.
> 
> Here's to a new day dawning at BART.  We have a one in a generation chance to win full access on BART - let's make the most of it.
> 
> Thank you,
> Renee
