Employees are provided the opportunity to work remotely reducing the trips required to campus. There are shower and bike storage on campus to encourage cycling. Carpoolers are provided free parking in preferential parking locations on campus as detailed above. Students are provided a Upass (Univeral Transit Pass) to access public transportation, including the bus, seabus and Translink. By encouraging the use of a UPASS student transporation rates are reduced. In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint, CAPU also provides a monthly transportation incentive towards the cost of a transit pass for all MoveUp staff travelling by public transport.
