    Additional resources for teachers on active transportation in Peel Region.

    Bike Rack Program

    Peel Region’s School Bicycle Parking Program provides safe and secure bicycle parking that encourages students to bike to and from school more often. Since 2015, more than 300 bike racks have been installed at more than 150 schools in Peel Region through the program.

    Schools located in Peel Region can apply for a maximum of four bike racks, each with a capacity for securing eight bicycles. Funding is only available for a limited number of bike racks each year, so applications from schools will be prioritized for new bike racks based on the following criteria:

    • Demonstrated bicycle parking demand,
    • Participation in programming related to health, sustainability, and/or active transportation.

    Peel Region will cover the cost of the bike racks ONLY. Installation on either existing concrete or asphalt surfaces at schools must be covered by the school.

    Contact us at walkandroll@peelregion.ca for more information, and to submit your completed application.

    Construction Around Schools Safety Toolkit

    Peel Region’s Construction Around Schools Safety Toolkit provides essential resources to help support the safety of students, staff, and families during construction activities near schools.

    Included in the kit:

    • Resources to share with your school community
    • Announcement template
    • Newsletter template
    • Printable Poster

    These tools aim to raise awareness about potential hazards while keeping the community informed about construction timelines and safety measures. The toolkit promotes a collaborative effort to be prepared during construction periods.

    Please contact walkandroll@peelregion.ca to have physical copies of the poster delivered or if you have any questions.
