1.1.1 Performance Measures: Develop standard building check-in procedures in 2006; widely distribute on an annual basis to encourage use.
   
1.2 Encourage an industry-sponsored study to identify the key barriers to the increased use of bicycle messengers in Chicago and opportunities for expansion and diversification.
1.2.1 Performance Measures: Complete study by 2007; implement key recommendations in 2008.

Possible Funding
