GBA has earned recognition as a Silver-level Bicycle Friendly Business from the League of American Bicyclists.
The firm joins more than 1,400 local businesses, government agencies, and Fortune 500 companies across the United States in transforming the American workplace to be more welcoming to our customers and employees who bike. GBA is proud to support the health and well-being of our community by being more welcoming to people choosing to bike. The recognition marks the renewal of Silver-level status initially conferred to GBA in 2017.
“We are excited to be recognized again by the League of American Bicyclists for our efforts to be bicycle friendly,” says Chad Luning, President/CFO of the Illinois office. “We have many regular bicycle commuters, myself included, who enjoy biking to work from distances far and near. We expect the number of bicycle commuters to increase as people return to the office and favor alternatives to public transportation and congested roadways.”
Support for cyclists in the Evanston office includes indoor bike parking, a changing area, gear storage, a federally supported bike commuter subsidy, a loaner bike for short trips to client locations, and periodic in-house seminars on bicycle maintenance and safety. The company’s Wisconsin staff also remains active in the cycling community by participating in various recreational rides and charity events in the Milwaukee area.
