The
League of American Bicyclists (LAB) announced its 2012
round of new and renewing Bicycle Friendly Communities and the Washington
communities of Tacoma and Snohomish joined the ranks at the bronze level. Port Townsend improved its ranking from
bronze to silver and Vancouver retained its bronze status.
Washington
is currently ranked as the most Bicycle Friendly State by LAB’s Bicycle
Friendly America program. Ten of our communities
are now ranked as Bicycle Friendly Communities with Seattle holding the only
gold award. Seventeen state businesses
have earned a Bicycle Friendly Business designation and the University of
Washington holds a silver ranking as a Bicycle Friendly University.
The Bicycle Friendly America program provides incentives, hands-on
assistance, and award recognition for communities, universities and
businesses that actively support bicycling, and ranks states annually
based on their level of bike-friendliness. Learn more about it here.
