• Bicycle friendly university. UNT was named a Bicycle Friendly University by the League of American Bicyclists. UNT encourages bicycling as an easy transportation option that creates positive effects for individuals and the community, from saving money and creating healthy lifestyles to reducing carbon emissions and traffic levels.
