REAP THE BENEFITS OF ACTIVE & EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION
Active and efficient transportation provides many benefits to individuals, our employers and our community.

For the employer

• Increases productivity and engagement through improved health, energy, and overall wellbeing
• Improves recruitment and retention of employees due to the support of transportation alternatives
• Increases workplace profile as promoting environmentally-friendly activities,
• Reduce on-site parking demand and related maintenance costs.

For the employee

• Improves physical and mental health through increased physical activity,
• Provides commuter options and reduce the financial burdens of operating a vehicle, and
• Supports individuals as they "do their part" to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and poor air quality.

For our community

• Decrease traffic congestion and the potential for vehicle collisions,
• Put more "eyes on the street", improving street safety,
• Improve the enjoyment and accessibility of our neighbourhoods,
• Reduce the necessity of road maintenance and construction due to excess use, and
• Showcase our community as being a steward of our environment.
