Welcome to the Bike MS 150 CERT Entrance Controllers Program!
CERT Entrance Controllers provide traffic assistance to cyclists at the entrances and exits of the rest stops. Primary responsibilities include providing a safe environment for cyclists to dismount and directing cyclists to the bike lay down area. Entrance Controllers help ensure cyclist safety by keeping bike traffic continuously moving, encouraging the cyclists, giving information and creating an orderly, enjoyable atmosphere.
QUALIFICATIONS: CERT volunteers must be at least eighteen years of age, have completed FEMA sponsored CERT training, provide emergency contact information, sign an event release statement, attend a scheduled orientation (new volunteers), and attend a pre-event team organizational meeting (all volunteers). Most but not all assignments require a two day commitment.
To find out more about the CERT Program and where CERT training is being offered in the region, please visit the Harris County Citizen Corps website or the City of Houston CERT website. Additional information can be found at the Bike MS 150 CERT website at http://www.certms150.org/.
