As a first-time applicant to the Bicycle Friendly University program, ASU recently earned a gold-level ranking. The designation, presented by the  League of American Bicyclists, recognizes higher-learning institutions that foster sustainable, productive and efficient cycling environments. Particular attention is paid to the support of cycling initiatives, as well as access to both convenient riding areas and parking on campus.

“We are honored to receive this award from the League of American Bicyclists and to see ASU’s efforts recognized,” said JC Porter, assistant director of commuter services for ASU Parking & Transit Services. “In the past year, we have transformed the bicycling culture at ASU and reinforced our commitment to meeting the transportation needs of all students, staff and faculty who bike to and from campus.”
