Good news everyone!
We’re excited to announce The League of American Bicyclists has recently designated the City as a “Bicycle Friendly Community” at the silver level.
Honolulu is one of 91 communities across the United States that received the Bicycle Friendly Community designation. Honolulu has moved up in the rankings since the last review cycle, which took place in 2018-2022 and during which we obtained a bronze ranking. Applications and review cycles occur every 4 years.
We join the ranks of other silver-rated cities, including San Jose, CA; Colorado Springs, CO; Miami Beach, FL; New Orleans, LA; Boston, MA; Minneapolis, MN; Bend, OR; and Pittsburgh, PA.
The League of American Bicyclists leads the movement to create a bicycle friendly America for everyone. Since 2002, the League of American Bicyclists’ Bicycle Friendly America program has accepted over 2,100 applications for recognition and awarded Bicycle Friendly Communities status to 460 jurisdictions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Bicycle Friendly Community program asks each community to evaluate its state of bicycling and identify ways to keep improving quality of life, sustainability and transportation options for more people.
With Honolulu’s ever-expanding bicycle infrastructure, including new protected bike lanes throughout urban Honolulu, the South Shore Trail, and the City’s acquisition of #Biki bikeshare, DTS aims to promote bicycling as a healthy, affordable, and sustainable method of transportation.
