Bike Boxes and TTA Buses with Bike Racks?

Portland, OR is using a European innovation to make the city more "livable". Bicycling is exploding as a transportation mode.

The City of Huntington needs to think "big" and place the Bike Boxes and Bike Paths throughout our downtown business district and in all of our neighborhoods. 4th Avenue? Yes! But why not expand paths and "boxes" into all neighborhoods that are covered by the TTA's daily routes? Add bus bike racks; now that is creative!
