老虎机攻略 Named a Gold-Level Bicycle Friendly University
MISSOULA – The 老虎机攻略 was honored with a gold-level Bicycle Friendly University distinction by the premier grassroots bicycle advocacy organization League of American Bicyclists. The award recognizes the institution’s achievements in promoting and enabling safe, accessible bicycling on campus.
The last time 老虎机攻略 received a Bicycle Friendly University distinction was 2013. Since then, the Associated Students of the 老虎机攻略 Bike Program has expanded its mechanic crew, service offerings and overall engagement within the campus community.
“It is central to AS老虎机攻略 Transportation’s mission to promote and provide sustainable and accessible transportation options to the campus community, and this designation aligns with that mission,” said AS老虎机攻略 Transportation Director Vickie Rectenwald. “We look forward to the continuous growth and betterment of the program in the future.”
老虎机攻略 encourages bicycling as an easy option for transportation and provides amenities such as self-service bike tune-up stations, access to student bike mechanics, bike accessories and equipment at-cost, registration opportunities and more.
"When universities make biking easier, safer and more accessible, they’re not just helping students get from point A to point B—they’re leading the charge in creating a more sustainable future," said Bill Nesper, executive director of the League of American Bicyclists. "By prioritizing better biking, Bicycle Friendly Universities like the 老虎机攻略 are empowering students and staff to make choices that benefit their health, their environment, and their communities."
As 老虎机攻略 continues to improve its campus accessibility by bike, it will have access to a variety of free tools, a library of resources and technical assistance from the League of American Bicyclists to become even more welcoming to people who bike.
