Stanford receives its third Platinum Bicycle Friendly University award (2019—2023)
The League of American Bicyclists (LAB) recognized Stanford University with a third Platinum Bicycle Friendly University (BFUSM) award.
Stanford was the first university to be recognized at the highest level when the program launched in 2011, making Stanford the only university to receive three Platinum designations in a row. This year’s award extends Stanford’s first two Platinum designations (2011–2015 and 2015-2019) for another four years (2019-2023).

About Stanford’s Bicycle Program
“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.”
Brian Shaw
Executive Director

“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.”
