"Bike Friendly" UNL Initiative

"Bike Friendly" UNL Program

One of the goals of the Bicycle Transportation Ad Hoc Committee was to evaluate, assess, and execute steps towards becoming recognized as a “Bike Friendly University” according to the recognition process of the League of American Bicyclists (LAB). According to the LAB:

“The Bicycle Friendly University (BFU) program recognizes institutions of higher education for promoting and providing a more bicycle-friendly campus for students, staff and visitors. The BFU program provides the roadmap and technical assistance to create great campuses for cycling.”

The application towards being recognized as a BFU can be found here, and is generally structured around the “5 Es”. http://bikeleague.org/bfa

  1. Engineering
  2. Education
  3. Encouragement
  4. Enforcement
  5. Evaluation

Currently, the Bike Committee is continuing to address the needs of the “5 Es” at UNL, and is in the process of preparing our application for BFU recognition.
