Schools in the Ride2School program can apply for grants up to the value of $5,000. Grant money can be used on bike parking, ActivePaths, a fleet of bikes for the school, financial contributions to a new bike shed and much more!
Schools aren’t limited in what they can apply for, as long as they can demonstrate a willingness to support more students actively travelling to school.
The Ride2School team visit schools registered in the program to discuss their situation and offer a toolkit of resources that will help reduce the barriers to active travel.
The format of our school visits can include:
- School or class presentations
- Awards
- Consulting

Not to mention, sitting in cars instead of being active means our kids are missing out on vital exercise and social interaction.
To open up the streets around schools at drop-off and pick-up times so that children and adults can walk and ride freely, without having to worry about car traffic. Open Streets helps build safer, more connected, happier and healthier communities.
