The League of American Bicyclists’ Bicycle-Friendly University program, which recognizes college campuses that provide accessible cycling options, recently re-awarded WashU its Gold designation.
WashU was first awarded the Gold level in 2020. In addition, the WashU Medical Campus received a Silver-level Bicycle Friendly Business award in 2022.
The ranking is the culmination of years of intentional efforts across departments to build a safer, more comfortable and more convenient campus for all users. The university encourages bicycling as a convenient and sustainable option for transportation and provides amenities including free bike tuneups, access to showers and bike repair stations.
