"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

- 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.
