01/15/16 <br />Whitted Bike Share Program <br />LESSONS LEARNED <br />The Bike Share Program encountered some initial challenges in <br />understanding program liability. As a result, the project funds <br />were shifted to support wearable tech for OCHD staff to <br />encourage participation in two walking challenges. OCHD now <br />has 32 Fitbits funded by Innovation Grant funds for use by staff. <br />Preliminary "before" surveys from wearable tech participants <br />(N =36) show: <br />• 77.78% Fitness Objective: positive mental health benefits of Physical Activity. <br />• 69.4% Wearing tech because they are curious to see how active they are. <br />• 44.44% Exercise outside of workhours, 3 -5 hours per week. <br />• 56% Never walk during the work day. <br />The Bike Share Program is now available at Whitted, with one <br />bike and helmet on the third floor available for use. <br />5 @ <br />
