2019 BICYCLE FRIENDLY STATE REPORT CARDS

The 2019 Bicycle Friendly State ranking includes a ranking of each state, but crucially also includes a report card.

We hope that these report cards can be useful for advocates, policymakers, agency staff, and the public as they seek to make bicycling safer, more comfortable, and more accessible. Please contact Ken McLeod at ken@bikeleague.org if you would like to know more about questions, answers, and grading.

Each report card is listed below in the order of each state’s 2019 Bicycle Friendly State ranking. The data presented on the report card is explained in our Guide to the Bicycle Friendly State Report Card. 

PLEASE CLICK ON EACH STATE'S NAME TO ACCESS ITS REPORT CARD.

In each report card you will find:

• Successes and Suggestions based on survey data and feedback from state advocates and agencies. This section recognizes progress made and important steps that can be taken by the state to improve bicycling.
• Our 5 Bicycle Friendly Actions and whether each state has taken them. Each of the 5 Bicycle Friendly Actions is an action that the League of American Bicyclists believes EVERY state should take.
• Federal data indicators on bicycle use, safety, and federal funding used for biking and walking. Although not ideal, this data is the best data that is available nationwide for state-by-state comparisons of current conditions.
• Grades for each of the 5 categories of questions in our Bicycle Friendly State survey and each sub-category in our survey. These grades are meant to help people identify areas for improvement in their state. The underlying questions can be found in the Bicycle Friendly State survey.

These report cards cannot capture everything every state is doing and we welcome feedback that helps us support improvements in every state.
