On April 7, California State University Long Beach will be receiving an award for being a bike-friendly campus. The League of American Bicyclists will be handing out the silver ranking award.
The award has certain requirements such as how much bike parking is available on campus and the different amounts of bicycle education the campus provides its students. "Some highlights include plentiful bike parking, education for incoming students, cash incentives for faculty and staff to bike to work, and positive enforcement ticketing," said Carly Sieff, program assistant for Bicycle Friendly America on CSULB's application for the award. It is not just based on the amount of bike lanes that are on campus.
It also includes the five Es-engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation.
Traffic Skills 101 is a class designed to help people become more comfortable with riding bikes in Long Beach. The class is taught on campus and is free to students and faculty.
A ceremony for the presentation of the award will take place on April 7 in the Pyramid Annex on campus. Contact Elissa Thomas at 562-985-4091 for more information.
