The League's Bicycle Friendly Community Program

The League of American Bicyclists' Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) Program recognizes and encourages cities and towns that prioritize cycling through improvements in infrastructure, safety, and policies. Communities earn awards based on factors like dedicated bike lanes, improved safety measures, bike-friendly laws, and promotion efforts. The program aims to make cycling safer, more accessible, and attractive, fostering healthier, more sustainable, and connected communities. It provides resources and guidance for continuous improvement, encouraging local governments to support bicycling as a viable and integral part of urban transportation.
