Bicycle Friendly Community

Ann Arbor, MI | Silver Level

Community Highlights: Michigan’s economy is heavily dependent on the automobile. However, Ann Arbor has committed to providing balanced transportation choice in their city by increasing bicycle and pedestrian options. The City Council has earmarked five percent of its state gasoline and weight tax revenues for non-motorized transportation improvements, particularly on-road bicycle lanes.

Best Result of Designation: Ann Arbor proudly displays its BFC plaque on the front of its City Hall. The recognition brings attention to bicycling as a means of city transportation. The BFC designation allows for advocates, elected leaders and citizens to engage in the civic pride of being recognized as a leader and drives them to do an even better job.
