The Tri-County Green Business Program and Bike Walk Helena have started a rewards program to encourage active transportation around Helena. The "Bike Walk Benefit Program" is being piloted with three downtown businesses participating: Taco del Sol, The Hub, and Blackfoot Brewing Company. If you bike or walk to any of these three businesses, you can receive a stamp on a punch card. Once you've earned ten stamps, you receive a $2 discount at Taco del Sol or The Hub, or a free brew at Blackfoot.
The goal is to expand the program to other local businesses over the next few months to promote healthier, greener modes of transportation. The program benefits both customers and store owners by giving shoppers a discount while encouraging them to patronize locally owned businesses.
