PBIC launches updated image library
Submit
your images for chance to win a free retro-reflective pants strap!
CHAPEL
HILL, NC The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center announces the
launch of the updated and redesigned pedestrian and
bicycle image library at
www.pedbikeimages.org
The PBIC Image Library is a searchable collection of free,
high-quality images relating to walking and bicycling. Visitors to the site may
use the images in any non-commercial projects including web pages, presentations
and reports. There are no per-image costs, royalties, or extra payments for the
images, but users must adhere to the Usage Guidelines posted on the site at
www.pedbikeimages.org/usage.cfm
The updated site features hundreds of
fresh images of people, transportation facilities, and livable places in the US
and in more than 10 other countries. The images can be searched for using
keywords, or users can browse by popular search terms. Users can also search for
images from specific states or countries, photos taken by a particular
photographer, or for a specific format or print quality.
The PBIC would
like to encourage users to submit http://www.pedbikeimages.org/submit.cfm their own
pedestrian and bicycle-related photos. For the next 6 weeks starting on June 1,
users who submit their own related images will be automatically entered in a
weekly random drawing. Users will be entered into the drawing for each image
they submit, so your odds of winning increase as you submit more photos. The
winning recipient for each week will receive one PBIC retro-reflective bike
pants strap.
The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center is funded
through the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) and
maintained by the University of North Carolina Highway Safety
Research Center.
