Bicycle Friendly University application now online

The Bicycle Friendly University (BFU) program joins the existing Bicycle Friendly Community, Business and State programs as the League’s newest Bicycle Friendly America addition. Officially launched at the Pro-Walk/Pro-Bike conference in September, the BFU program promotes active and sustainable colleges and universities.  The college campus is an ideal setting for bicycling and a natural fit for reaching institutional sustainability, health and livability goals.  This program will guide schools to becoming more bicycle-friendly and award those with strong bike programs and infrastructure.

Thus, we are excited to announce the release of the BFU online application. We can’t wait to hear about bicycling on campuses around the country from the first round of applicants.  You can find the application at: http://apply.bikeleague.org/member.php?act=login

We encourage applicants to refer to the BFU resources page for technical assistance as you fill out the application and the Bicycle Friendly University webpage for more information on the program.  The first deadline for the program is January 21, 2011 and the second deadline of the year is July 22, 2011.   For any further questions or help getting started, contact the League at [email protected] or 202-822-1333.
