Applications now open for the first-ever Active Mobility Leadership Lab
The League of American Bicyclists is pleased to announce that applications are now open for a new training program for emerging and aspiring Bicycle Friendly Communities: the Active Mobility Leadership Lab!
Generously funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in support of their Active People, Healthy Nation℠ Initiative, the Active Mobility Leadership Lab is designed to support local government agency staff in emerging and aspiring Bicycle Friendly Communities to build capacity around strategies to promote active mobility and physical activity.
During this 16-week training program, the League will work closely with dedicated communities through a new learning curriculum informed and inspired by the Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) program. Participants will focus on developing an Active Mobility Action Plan based on their community’s goals and needs, and will be given the tools to implement their action plans.
Are you ready to take your community to the next BFC level? Local, county, or regional government employees or individuals associated with such agencies may apply. Candidates based in communities that are early in the process of becoming a Bicycle Friendly Community will be prioritized in the selection process. This could include candidates who have either never applied to the BFC program, or have applied but received No Award, Honorable Mention, or Bronze. Applications are due Friday, February 6, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. E.T.
