York University has partnered with the City of Toronto’s Bike Share program. Three Bike Share stations have been installed on the Keele and Glendon campuses. This partnership further enhances York’s Sustainability commitment and supports the University’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality on or before 2049.
York University is the first University in the Greater Toronto Area to partner with Bike Share Toronto to provide yet another sustainable mode of transportation to its community members.
The Toronto Bike share program provides York’s community members with 24/7 convenient access to bikes to help you get around campus in a fun and environmentally friendly manner.
