CT DEEP Celebrates “Bicycle Friendly Business” Award from The League of American Bicyclists 

2/23/2013

 
Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) recently received  a “Bicycle Friendly Business” award from the League of American Bicyclists, the nation’s largest   bicycling advocacy group.  The award is for businesses or workplaces that promote a bicycle-   friendly culture.  The bronze-level award was presented to the DEEP for the following actions:
  • Availability of bicycle racks in the on-site parking garage and on-site showers
  • Opportunity for staff to attend bike safety and bike repair classes
  • Co-sponsorship of  bike events such as the Capitol Bike to Work Day and Discover Hartford Bicycling Tour
  • DEEP joins almost 500 award winners nationwide, including local businesses, government agencies and Fortune 500 companies. 
“DEEP’s leadership and staff deserve high praise for pursuing and achieving the League of  American Bicyclists Bicycle Friendly Business accreditation.  DEEP is just the third bicycle-friendly  business in Connecticut, following REI West Hartford and Whitcraft LLC, Eastford,” said Kelly Kennedy, Executive Director of the statewide advocacy group Bike Walk Connecticut.  “Bike Walk Connecticut is eager to help more state agencies and private businesses follow suit, so we can really put Connecticut on the map as a bike-friendly state.”
