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.
The Region of Peel 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.
