The City of Kent recently submitted an application to the League of American Bicyclists to renew its Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) status. As part of the review process, the League is asking for your input about bicycling in the City of Kent through an online survey. This survey is open to anyone familiar with or interested in bicycling in the community. Whether you bike every day or on occasion, we encourage you to complete the survey. It only takes a few minutes to complete and will be open until Oct. 5, 2025. 

"I give to the United Way because, while volunteering, I’ve listened to and spoken with people who have received help. When you hear a person describe their struggle to survive and they get a blanket to keep them warm, or food to get them through that day it has a profound impact. That I can be even a small part of giving time, food, or money makes me feel like I’m part of a true community of care and compassion." - Todd Kamenash, associate dean of students, conduct and community engagement.
