The Hub for Action on School Transportation Emissions (HASTE) is a new project that supports schools and their communities taking action
on reducing transportation emissions in British Columbia. It's an online resource and networking centre, designed to help students, teachers and schools improve the health of individuals, communities
and the environment.
School Idle-Free Campaign: Vehicle idling around schools is a serious, avoidable contributor to environmental pollution and poor human health. Unnecessary idling significantly contributes to air pollution, which in turn worsens environmental and health problems, including the dramatic rise of childhood asthma.
The program and materials presented on the HASTE website have been designed to be easy to use and to produce real reductions in emissions. Idle-Free signs, vehicle decals and key chains are available for schools to support their campaigns.
The Walking School Bus / Bicycle Train Program provides students with the opportunity to meet their daily physical activity requirements and reduce their carbon footprint. Free starter kits as well as up to $500 in incentives for schools are available.
