A brief description of the institution’s bicycle program, including the year the award was achieved and/or renewed:
The League of American Bicyclists has recognized Miami University with a bronze Bicycle Friendly University award in recognition of its achievements in promoting and enabling safe, accessible bicycling on campus. The award was announced Nov. 2018.
The award recognizes the progress Miami has made toward a thriving, active transport community.
Unique partnerships between the university, city and Hueston Woods State Park have yielded new bicycle lanes, multiuse trails, indoor and outdoor bicycle parking, cycling classes and lots of opportunities for student engagement.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Miami is among 45 new and renewing bicycle friendly universities across the country. In all, there are 193 universities with the designation. League Executive Director Bill Nesper said the standards for attaining the four levels of awards — bronze, silver, gold and platinum — “are very high and require deliberate, determined efforts to earn them.”
Miami President Gregory Crawford and Oxford Mayor Kate Rousmaniere, both avid bicyclists, were supportive of the effort. The president signed off on the 50-page application which included data on such things as number of miles of dedicated bike lanes.
