Sustainable transportation

Two uOttawa employees show off their bicycles

We would like to create a transportation hub focused at the University of Ottawa. Our goal is to create sustainable transportation alternatives for every campus community member.

Target

Achieve a campus modal share of 85%. This means that only 15% of the campus community use a single occupancy vehicle to commute to campus.

Progress

In 2013, the campus modal split was 83%. A campus wide counter-flow bike lane was recently completed.

PROGRAMS

Universal Bus Pass
The U-Pass is a discounted transit pass offered to students in the OC Transpo service area.

Secure Bike Enclosure
The University of Ottawa has two secure bike enclosures available to the community. To learn more about this bike enclosure, please contact Daniel Spence

Carpooling
A variety of incentives are provided to carpoolers, including preferential parking and an emergency ride program.

Bike Share Program
Bicycles are available to the community members who do not have their own bike.

Bike Coop
All campus community members have access to the Bike Coop. The bike coop hosts workshops and events to help you fix your bike for free.
