What is the institution’s current bicycle friendly award level? :
A brief description of the institution’s bicycle program, including the year the award was achieved and/or renewed:
The University of Utah was designated by League of American Bicyclists as a Bicycle Friendly University, Silver since 2012
The University of Utah Bicycle Master Plan (2011) includes a summary of existing conditions, needs analysis, infrastructure recommendations, and non-infrastructure strategies.
The University is located in a relatively bike-friendly city. Salt Lake City has been steadily providing more bicycle facilities on its streets in recent years, and there is at least one bike-friendly route to campus from all directions. However, many of these good bike facilities dead-end at or before the University. [2011, p.34]. In September 2010 Salt Lake City was designated a Silver Level Bicycle Friendly Community. Providing a recommendation for a prioritized bikeway between the University of Utah and the downtown area was a specific focus of the master plan [2015 p. 30].
