Bicycle Friendly University
The University of Pittsburgh is proud to be one of 204 colleges and universities recognized by the League of American Bicyclists, and as of 2025, one of only 31 institutions designated as a Gold-Level Bicycle Friendly University (BFU). This recognition reflects Pitt’s commitment to promoting and enabling safe, accessible, and convenient bicycling on and around campus. Recent initiatives include our leading partnership with POGOH, which has provided more than one million free bike-share rides to Pitt community members, expanded free on-bike education opportunities for riders of all experience levels, and close collaboration with the city, state, and PRT to improve key corridors such as Bigelow Boulevard and Terrace Street. Looking ahead, Pitt is committed to achieving Platinum BFU status by 2033 through continued work on bicycle infrastructure, strengthened partnerships with the city, and expanded high-quality bike parking across campus.
