On June 13, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., York University Transportation Services (TS) will host an event to promote Bike Month outside Vari Hall.
The day of the event, Transportation Services will offer resources such as York Region and City of Toronto cycling maps, bike skills and safety handbooks, and more. Patrons can also spin a prize wheel to win prizes.
Bike Month is a celebration to encourage individuals across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area to cycle, learn new riding skills, and connect with new people at organized events. Throughout the month, TS will partner with Point A, a sustainable commuting consultation company, to challenge the community to get on their bike and discover their neighbourhood – on campus or at home. In particular, TS’ promotion of Bike Month aims to encourage contributions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by promoting commuting to campus to reduce the demand for parking at York University by increasing awareness of alternative sustainable methods of transportation.
