The Town of Hilton Head Island is recognized as one of the top 39 bicycle-friendly communities in the United States and one of 34 to achieve the Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) award from the League of American Bicyclists.
The Gold Level distinction recognizes the Town's commitment to improving conditions for bicycling through its investment in bicycling promotion, education programs, infrastructure and pro-bicycling policies.
Earning the award was a collaborative effort between the Town, Bike Walk Hilton Head Island, and the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce. The BFC application effort had considerable volunteer support from the local cycling community.
The Town had held Silver-Level BFC status since 2011 with the Gold-Level status first awarded in 2015. The Town's award has been renewed consecutively with the Gold-level status in 2015, 2019 and 2023.

February 5, 2024 - This month, Corvallis received the Gold-level Bicycle Friendly Community award from the League of American Bicyclists - a distinction that our community has earned annually for more than two decades. Just 34 communities nationwide have ever received Gold-Level status. The award recognizes Corvallis for its commitment to creating transportation and recreational resources that benefit its residents of all ages and abilities while encouraging healthier and more sustainable transportation choices.
While the award process considers very visible elements such as bike infrastructure, other essential elements include efforts around adult and youth bike education, encouragement through events like Open Streets, evaluation mechanisms, and enforcement all through the lens of equity. The City of Corvallis has also invested in two dedicated staff positions that support active transportation programs and projects.
Awarded communities must renew their status every four years to ensure that they not only maintain existing efforts, but also keep up with changing technology, national safety standards, and community-driven best practices.
EIM On Campus (EIM-OC) launched its renewal and recognition program in 2014. Renewal was created to capture current data and information on participating campuses and recognition was made to honor campuses for their participation and engagement in EIM. Schools earn Gold, Silver or Bronze status based on their activities related to physical activity promotion, education and EIM integration into campus health services. Recognition provides an opportunity for campuses to enhance their image as a healthy academic environment and highlight their commitment to creating a culture of wellness.
Make sure to gather proof using the EIM-OC Recognition Levels file (to the right) as guidance, as well as being aware of the current leadership team policies in the action guide. Without proper documentation and abidance of current leadership team policies, renewal and/or a recognition level will not be awarded.

What is the VIFP Club?
The VIFP Club stands for the Very Important Fun Person Club, Carnival's guest recognition program.
If you're a Past Guest, the program recognizes you for your continued loyalty to Carnival with increasing recognition and benefits as you cruise more and more. New to Carnival? The VIFP Club is a warm welcome to the Carnival experience and gives you access to VIFP members-only rates and promotions.
What are the benefits for each VIFP level?
Click here to view the benefits of each level.
Benefits are subject to the provisions in the VIFP Club Terms and Conditions. All capitalized terms herein have the same meaning as those set forth in the VIFP Club Terms and Conditions. No substitution of Benefits may occur, except in the sole discretion of Carnival Cruise Line. Benefits are subject to change at any time without notice.
What are the Terms and Conditions for the VIFP Club?

How do I see my VIFP points?
To see the number of cruise days (points) you currently have on your VIFP profile, simply log into your profile, located at
Once logged in, click on 'Your Name' to load your VIFP profile and then click on 'My Cruises'. This will show your current VIFP level, how many points you have and how many points you need to reach the next level.
If a cruise is cut short or extended for reasons outside the control of guests, how many points will guests earn since we are basing it on the actual number of days sailed?
As a gesture of goodwill, we will never decrease the number of cruise days earned as a result of the shortening of a cruise. In cases where a ship returns at a later date than scheduled, we will increase the number of cruise days. (Extended sailings must have taken place, after the launch of the VIFP Program, 6/30/2012).
I activated my account but noticed that all of my cruises were not included. How long will it take for Carnival to adjust my level?
Carnival wants to ensure than all eligible cruises are captured in guests' cruise history. It takes up to three business days after a sailing for the system to update a guest's cruise history. If you notice a discrepancy, log into your personal profile on
www.carnival.com/VIFP and submit a request form. The request form can be found at the bottom of the 'Review My Cruise History' page in the 'Manage My Cruise History' tab. Please note, Carnival cannot process requests over the phone. Carnival will review each request on an individual basis. Please be patient, the process may take 2-3 weeks to complete.
I was only a sail or two away from becoming Platinum in the previous recognition program. Is there anything I can do to reach the Platinum level?
We understand the investments guests have made over the years, and we'd like to thank and acknowledge guests who were near advancement in the previous program. Any guest that sailed at least 10 times by December 31, 2013 was grandfathered into the Platinum level under the old program rules.
How will Carnival know my level when I sail?
Guests will receive a color-coded Sail & Sign card during each sailing which will identify their levels in the VIFP Club. It's recommended that all guests activate their VIFP Club membership at least eight weeks prior to their next sailing to ensure they're recognized as a member of their correct level.
While guests are automatically eligible for their benefits, some Diamond level benefits must be requested at the time of booking (e.g. one-time benefits). Please remember to always provide your VIFP number at time of booking.
How long do I have to activate my membership?
Guests may activate their membership at any time, but we do encourage everyone to do it as soon as they can. As of June 30, 2013, we are no longer able to make adjustments to cruise history.
Do VIFP Club members earn points when cruising with sister lines?
Benefits of the VIFP Club are unique to Carnival Cruise Line cruises. VIFP Points may be earned only when sailing on Carnival Cruise Line. Cruises taken on Carnival Corporation's other own cruise lines will not earn VIFP Points and VIFP Club benefits will not be offered.
Which Carnival Cruise Line cruises count towards my VIFP Points?
VIFP Points will be earned for all qualifying Carnival Cruise Line cruises, starting with Carnival's first sailing on March 9, 1972. (Non-qualifying cruises include charter cruises, non-revenue cruises, etc.)
How much does it cost to become a VIFP Club member?
There are no fees to join the VIFP Club, and membership never expires.
Does each cruiser in a guest's family/party/stateroom earn points and receive Club benefits?
Yes, each member of the VIFP Club earns VIFP Points and will receive the benefits of their VIFP Club level. However, some benefits are age-restricted.
Should everyone activate/join (all members of guest's family or party)?
All guests who have cruised with Carnival will be automatically enrolled. Still, each guest should individually activate their account to ensure data accuracy. For guests who haven't sailed with Carnival yet, we recommend at least one adult within each family or party join the VIFP Club to see if you can take advantage of members-only offers or promotions that are offered from time-to-time.
How do guests enroll?
If guests have cruised with Carnival before, they're automatically enrolled. They simply activate their account at
www.carnival.com/VIFP. Guests who have never sailed with Carnival can join prior to cruising at
www.carnival.com/VIFP. Or, if they don't enroll prior to their cruise, they'll be automatically enrolled upon completion of the voyage. They simply activate their account at
www.carnival.com/VIFP.
How does the VIFP Club work?
Members of the VIFP Club earn one VIFP Point for every day they've been at sea (aka cruise day), so 1 VIFP Point = 1 Cruise Day.
There are five levels in the VIFP Club:
