The second program is part of the League of American Bicyclists and allows employers to be recognized for their efforts to encourage a more welcoming atmosphere for bicycling employees, customers and the community. The application process is more involved than the Travel Oregon program but applicants receive valuable feedback and assistance in becoming more welcoming to bicycling, receive national recognition, and are awarded a ranking as a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum level Bicycle Friendly Business. Awarded businesses are recognized in a national press release, through the League’s social media and on their interactive awards map.

In June 2019 the City of Eugene and the City of Springfield hosted two Bike Friendly Business events to help businesses register for the Travel Oregon "Bike Friendly Business" program. Through that event over a dozen businesses applied and were certified. We are making plans for 2020 to promote and encourage more businesses to become certified through both programs.
