3 Sponsorship Opportunities Sponsor Summary The University of Michigan has agreed to be the Title Sponsor of ArborBike for three years, which will include UM branding on five stations and on all 125 bikes. Several sponsorship opportunities remain for additional sponsors: Stations Branded stations are located in high-traffic, high-visibility areas. Place logos on the kiosk and station poster, and receive recognition on the print map, website, and smartphone app. Sponsor an avaiable existing station or host a new station at a location of your choosing. Bikes Bike sponsorship is branding in motion. Users return bikes to any station after use, so logos travel throughout the system. Sponsor 10 to 125 of the bikes for two years at a time. Corporate Membership Provide a wellness amenity for your employees. Several options are available - subsidize individual annual memberships or cover the whole workforce. Memberships are discounted over 20% on 15+ group orders. Bike Share Sponsorship Value Bike share is an opportunity to connect with people, rather than simply a chance for name recognition. A branded utility provides the public with a positive way to talk about a brand. Bike share presents an opportunity to position your business with a positive public amenity. As of 2011, 93% of those surveyed associated Barclay s with London s bike share, and 32% had a more favorable opinion of Barclay s than before. New York s Citibike is already paying off for Citi Bank: an internal review revealed a 17 point jump in favorable impression of Citi. A University of Minnesota study found that bike share users in Minneapolis spent a projected $150k more per year due to new bike share trips. Bike share program surveys reveal that that employees that use bike share have lost weight from the resulting exercise, saved money on parking and gas, and felt noticably better throughout the day from activity. The trend of bike share is booming: In Philadelphia, bike share is still in the planning stages, but businesses are already asking for new stations at their locations. Bike share programs have experienced substantial growth since launching in Washington, DC s Capital Bikeshare reported 37% annual growth in Arlington-based annual members in Contact: Kevin Mulder - kevin@cec-mi.org 3

4 Projected Impressions Sponsor Outlook High levels of pedestrian, bike, and transit commuting, combined with the mix of students, employees, residents, and visitors that populate Ann Arbor, make ArborBike s service area one of the densest locales in Michigan on a daily basis. ArborBike presents a unique opportunity to capture impressions that will command the attention of pedestrians and motorists in this dense, varied population.

Bike sponsorship garners impressions from bikes on the move as well as from bikes parked at stations. It is estimated that on average, 40-60% of docks will contain a bike at any given time. ArborBike is scheduled to operate from April 1 to November 15 annually, depending on weather. System launch in 2014 is anticipated for early summer. Ridership in future years is expected to mirror the experience of comparable bike share systems in previous years with significant growth in the number of memberships purchased and bike trips taken per year.
