Bicycle Friendly Business

Capella University | Bronze Level

Business Highlights: Capella University offers employees secure and convenient bike parking in their bike storage room, the Cycling Employee Network Group, a commuter incentive program, winter and spring bike commuter seminars, and a bike commuter mentoring program.

Most Compelling Bike Related Statistic: The Capella bicycle storage room has a wait list and the university is enthusiastically dealing with "overflow" parking solutions. They will be baselining bicycle commuting statistics in 2010.

Benefits from Being a Bicycle Friendly Business: Capella recently won a "Best Place to Work" award, and the added recognition from the League of American Bicyclists not only helps bring visibility about bike commuting to their employees, it also gives us additional support and motivation to continue improving. The business will be leveraging the award as they reach out internally and to other organizations for providing the best bicycle commuting resources possible.
