Active and Sustainable Transportation

Why is this important?

Taking public transit or engaging in sustainable and active transportation, such as walking, cycling or other forms of low-carbon travel, not only creates less air pollution and carbon emissions, but can also improve fitness, reduce stress and increase social interaction in the community.

What actions can we take?

  • Take steps to foster/ support the use of public transit and sustainable, active transportation by staff and/or families. 
    • Share information on public transit options. 
    • Consider providing a public transit stipend to employees. 
    • ​​Consider providing preferred (or free) parking for employees who carpool or use low or zero-emission vehicles. 
    • Provide bicycle racks for use by staff and parents/ guardians.
