Bicycle Friendly Community Application

Click here to access the BFC application.

We recently improved the application! If you have any questions or concerns, email us or call 202-822-1333.

Applications must be submitted on-line. For your convenience, we provide a pdf version of the application by clicking here. This is not a substitute for your on-line application.

The application is an audit of the engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement and evaluation efforts in your municipality. This comprehensive inquiry is designed to yield a holistic picture of your community's work to promote bicycling. We refer to these sections as the Five Es. For a more detailed description of the Five Es, click here. Assistance in completing the application is available on our resources page.

You and other bicyclists in the community can bring this program, particularly the application, to your mayor or county council to initiate positive change in your neighborhood.

To be included in the next review cycle and possibly join those communities earning the award, submit the Bicycle Friendly Community application by February 19, 2010. There are two application deadlines per year, one in March and the other in August.

Note: We require that all applications be submitted online. Please use the PDF simply for planning or sharing the materials with others.
