It’s Safe + Sustainable Transportation Month!
Throughout the month of May, UBC is celebrating safe, active and sustainable transportation with activities and events aimed at promoting walking and cycling on campus.
Things kick of May 6 with Jane's Walk. Leading this walk, as a tribute to the late urban activist Jane Jacobs, is Scot Hein, C+CP’s Urban Designer. This tour will explore how the UBC campus is emerging into an urban village.
Walk n’ Roll to school takes place May 9-13. UTown@UBC and the UNA are teaming up to promote safe, active and sustainable transportation in our community. Walking school buses, led by community volunteers will depart from select campus neighbourhoods to nearby schools.
