\"cyclistThe Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ has been recognized with a 2015 \u201cBicycle Friendly University Bronze Award,\u201d presented by the League of American Bicyclists.<\/p>\n

The Bicycle Friendly University (BFU) program recognizes institutions of higher education for promoting and providing a more bikeable campus for students, staff and visitors. It evaluates the applicant\u2019s efforts to promote bicycling in five areas: engineering, encouragement, education, enforcement and evaluation\/planning.<\/p>\n

The University became one of 49 new and renewing Bicycle Friendly Universities this year, according to the League of American Bicyclists. There are now 127 BFUs in 42 states.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Department of Transportation and Parking Management is extremely proud to be recognized for our commitment in promoting sustainable travel options for our University community,\u201d said Director Hugh Kierig. \u00a0\u201cWe have increased biking awareness through our UR Connections<\/a> program by urging bike commuting to work and school, increasing the capacity for bike parking, offering bike lockers and cages, implementing bike lanes, and offering a bicycle registration program. Bicycling and other alternative transportation programs of UR Connections are an integral part of the \u201cClean & Go Green\u201d campaign<\/a> for sustainability at the URochester,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Transportation and Parking Management hopes to continue to increase the importance of bringing fewer cars to campus, thereby reducing commuting costs for employees, reducing campus congestion, and promoting the sustainability efforts for the University and our community.<\/p>\n
