Yale Moves Up the BFU Ladder

Congratulations to Yale, for earning a Silver Bike Friendly University designation by the League of American Bicyclists. Yale became a Bronze level Bike Friendly University in 2012.  Holly Parker and Team, you may take your bow now! Holly  is a longtime member of Bike Walk Connecticut.
​
Yale reports:  As interest in carbon neutral transportation in cities grows, Yale is working to become a more bicycle-friendly campus. The University’s recent efforts range from a new bike-share program to increased bike storage.

Elevating Yale’s Bicycle Friendly University status from bronze to silver was a strategy within our 2013-2016 Sustainability Strategic Plan,” said Holly Parker, Director of Sustainable Transportation Systems. “We felt that we had improved our offerings for cyclists by—among many other things—bringing a 50-bicycle Bikeshare to our campus, and increasing bicycle parking capacity.” Read Yale's announcement here.

​Connecticut now has ​​4 Bicycle Friendly communities, ​​6 Bicycle Friendly Businesses​, and ​1 Bicycle Friendly Universit​y.
