In Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, students are enjoying a new way to commute to school through the 'Bike Bus' initiative. This program allows children to cycle together along designated routes, accompanied by adult volunteers, fostering a sense of community and promoting physical activity. Students like Isaac Doyle and Jessica Kelly appreciate the exercise and social aspects of biking with friends, while others, like Axton Thompson, highlight the environmental benefits of reducing gas emissions. Anna Keenan, Charlottetown’s active transportation officer, introduced the Bike Bus after discovering similar programs across Canada. The initiative has already engaged three schools, with plans for a fourth to join in the fall. Volunteers, such as Jennifer MacPhail, emphasize the importance of safety as they guide the children along their routes. The program also educates students about road rules, helping them navigate their community confidently. Furthermore, Charlottetown's recent approval of a 10-year active transportation plan aims to enhance cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, with immediate improvements planned for the bike lane leading to Sherwood School.
