Ontario Active School Travel

Ontario Active School Travel (OAST) is a program of Green Communities Canada with a mission to create a culture in which every day active transportation for Ontario students is safe, easy, and enjoyable. 

We work towards this mission with our diverse partners and supporters across the province.
