Our students have been strong advocates and partners with Campus Parking Services for improved biking infrastructure on campus. For example, the Central Student Association (CSA) Bike Centre <\/a>is a do-it-yourself bike repair shop. The Bike Repair Centre offers access to the tools, parts, and training necessary for bicycle maintenance, along with a team of volunteers that are available to assist users and facilitate learning. Workshops are hosted by experienced technicians who educate and create awareness about bicycle maintenance and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Green Gryphon Bike Shelter and Pavillion<\/a> by Branion Plaza was built to support and encourage more people to bike to campus – the wood and steel bike shelter holds approximately 90 bikes. It\u2019s also adaptive. Emptied of its racks, it can be used as an open-sided pavilion for small groups. Experience this and other student driven innovation across campus. Why not by bike? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Transportation accounts for a quarter of Canada\u2019s carbon emissions. If we\u2019re going to drive change forward, we have to shift the way people move to and from campus. Campus Parking Services <\/a>is working to support and promote the use of active transportation and zero-emission vehicles. In 2019, 25 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations were installed in prime location parking spots across campus and U of G added it\u2019s first plug-in electric vehicle to its fleet along with 4 EV chargers in the Transportation Department to support new additions in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pedal Power Our students have been strong advocates and partners with Campus Parking Services for improved biking infrastructure on campus.
