Stanford University Recognized as a Platinum Bicycle Friendly University for record Four-Peat by the League of American Bicyclists.
A big thank you to the Stanford community for your support; the League of American Bicyclists (LAB) awarded us the Platinum Bicycle Friendly University Award for the fourth time since the program launched in 2011. A special shout out to bike commuters --you are a huge part of our success! Last year we hit a record of 22% of our commuting population reaching campus by bike.
“We know that when colleges and universities invest in bicycling, great things happen: We decrease our carbon footprint, improve health, increase connection to community, and promote a healthy, fun and safe campus culture. The League of American Bicyclists deserves credit and our gratitude for helping to encourage this to happen through a friendly but rigorous competition, where the ultimate winners are the riders.”
“We extend special thanks to our campus partners. While we are the face of the bicycle program, we couldn’t achieve this award without the strong collaboration we enjoy with our campus partners. As we celebrate this award, we look forward to sharing our Platinum best practices with others and learning from others, as well. There is always more we can do, and we remain committed to improving biking and bike safety for our riders and community.”
