Our Response to COVID 19

Our Response to COVID 19

Like everyone, we have felt the repercussions of the current pandemic. Our team is healthy, which is the most important part. We’re taking it day by day.

Like most non-profit organizations, we don’t know what this will mean for our operations. BEST prides itself on offering valuable services, such as The Bicycle Valet and Parkbus, which operate as social enterprises. The Bicycle Valet provides free and secure bike parking for events, the vast majority of which will not operate this year. Parkbus provides bus transportation to mainly Provincial Parks, which are not currently open.

Commuter Challenge 2019 impacts

Happier teams, healthier travel, and fewer GHGs! This year, 451 workplaces from across the province joined BEST’s 2019 Commuter Challenge to build team spirit and lighten our environmental impact. We also had 2,299 individuals go multi-modal with their commutes. By bike, train, carshare, or on foot, we avoided 41,025 kgs of CO2 and covered a total of 251,893 kilometres. That’s like going around the world over 10 times!
