Notas del editor
- The League has run a BFC program for several years – at first with relatively easy criteria for communities to meet. In 2002 the program was overhauled and a new, more rigorous application and review process was initiated. One important change was the creation of a four tiered award system – created with the intent of encouraging communities to continually improve.
- Designated communities at the top three levels shown here. Each year we have two rounds of applications: deadlines are set for March and August, with awards announced in May and October.

- Targets critically important. Boulder is moving towards this goal, affects every decision they make.
- Four fold increase in bicycling in Portland over 15 years of improvements; bike use now growing exponentially.
- We’ve been incredibly effective with the funding we’ve had. We’ve been a lean, mean bicycling machine, having accomplished much in the past 10 years with very limited resources. Between 2000 and 2007 we spent approximately 0.7% of PDOT’s capital budget on bicycling. We’ve been targeting our improvements at key locations, piggybacking effectively onto other projects, and sought as much grant funding as we possibly can. We’ve also relied on Portland Parks, the Bureau of Environmental Services, the Port of Portland, Multnomah County, Trimet, ODOT and PDC to fund improvements in targeted areas. With our partners at the BTA and Community Cycling Center we’ve also developed what are perhaps the nation’s best encouragement and youth education programs. But, if we’re going to improve conditions and attract more people to bicycling we’re going to have to find more money. Bicycle improvements, education and enforcement are expensive. Bicycle improvements cost real money. Amsterdam—perhaps the best cycling city in the world, with an absolutely seamless infrastructure that is so safe seven year olds ride with their 75-year old grandparents—still spends about $35 per capita per year on bicycle capital improvements. Here in Portland we’ve been spending between $1-$2 per capita per year.
- North Carolina DOT study showing 9-1 ROI for bicycling improvements in the Outer Banks – and relatively modest improvements at that.
- The program was revised and relaunched with the generous support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Ongoing support for the program and the Policy Project is provided by Bikes Belong, and we have worked closely with the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center to provide technical support for the program and the communities.
