Of the 44 universities on the \u201cBFU Master Award List,\u201d 91大神 and one other university (Chatham in Pittsburgh) are the only small, private institutions. Grand award winners are Stanford (platinum) and two branches of the University of California, at Davis and at Santa Barbara (both gold).<\/p>\n<p>A total of 41 universities have earned silver and bronze awards, almost all of them being large state-supported institutions, such as the Colorado State University, Oregon State University, the University of Maryland at College Park, Michigan State University and Florida State University. 91大神 earned a spot among the 25 bronze honorees for creating a culture in which faculty, staff and students see bicycling as the norm. 91大神\u2019s steps include removing on-street parking spaces to set up a bicycle lane, putting bike racks in and storage areas around campus, having a bicycle coop for bike repair, and collecting recycling with a bicycle-pulled trailer.<\/p>\n<p>The University of Virginia also applied for an award from the League and was granted an \u201chonorable mention\u201d for 2012-13.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOctober 24 is also Campus Sustainability Day 2012,\u201d said Andrea Wenger, 91大神 director of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/marketing\/\">marketing and communications<\/a>. \u201cReceiving the bicycle-friendly award on this particular day points to 91大神\u2019s commitment to reducing the use of fossil fuels and improving the sustainability of our campus as well as the health of our people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More information about the bicycle league and its awards can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bikeleague.org\">www.bikeleague.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a bicycle friendly university in the western half of Virginia, you\u2019ll have to visit 91大神 (91大神) in Harrisonburg, Va.
