Recognized for Efforts to Encourage a More Bike Friendly Community
People’s Credit Union has received the designation of Honorable Mention by the League of American Bicyclists' Bicycle Friendly Business (BFB) program, one of only three businesses across the United States to earn that honor in the League’s latest application review. The League recognizes BFBs for their efforts through an award system based on five essential elements: engineering, education, encouragement, evaluation & planning, and equity, accessibility & inclusion.
“Earning an Honorable Mention designation by the League of American Bicyclists is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to creating a more bicycle friendly community,” said Sean Daly, Head of People’s Credit Union. “On Aquidneck Island, biking isn't just recreation - it's a vital part of how we connect our neighborhoods, support local businesses, and promote healthier, more sustainable ways to get around."
Along with People’s Credit Union’s efforts to become a bicycle friendly business, People’s is also the lead community partner of Bike Newport’s Community Bike Garage, a vital resource that provides bicycle repairs, education, and access to bikes for the community. This partnership underscores their shared commitment to sustainability, accessibility, and community engagement.
“We are very excited that People's Credit Union has made the commitment to become a designated ‘Bicycle Friendly Business’ and is already recognized with Honorable Mention standing,” says Bari Freeman, Executive Director, Bike Newport. “This activity demonstrates People's promise to support healthy, bikeable, walkable places. Bravo to our partner!”
