Active School Travel (AST) is a program that promotes using active modes of transportation, such as walking, cycling, rollerblading, skateboarding when travelling to and from school.
Markham Cycles is working closely with the City of Markham, York Region District School Board, York Catholic District School Board and York Region, in undertaking a pilot program to promote walking and cycling at 9 elementary schools.
Markham Cycles will be setting up a pop-up bike booth at these schools offering cycling information and safety courses to students.
