Youth en Route (YER) programming reduces economic, logistic, cultural and adaptive challenges that prevent students from cycling as a form of transportation.

YER will encourage all-season cycling by providing education, skill development and winter cycling equipment. Permanent bike storage facilities will be added at public schools using old maze gates donated by the City of Calgary. YER will expand the reach of cycling education and adaptive bike programs to 20 schools to empower youth to choose sustainable modes of travel to school now and build lifelong habits.
