The League’s Bicycle Friendly Community staff is available to provide assistance throughout the application process and will continue to work with awardees to implement bicycle friendly programs and practices. Communities that do not yet meet the standards for a Bicycle Friendly Community award may also receive assistance in order to encourage improvements and earn program designation.
