Active Transportation

The benefits of active transportation include saving money on transportation, better health and a more positive commuter experience. We're proud of our bike and pedestrian-friendly campus, designed to provide safe, convenient movement for students walking to and from the college or between classes. Mohawk Sustainability offers annual events and programs to support active transportation and cycling.

Secure Bike Cage

Need a safe place to park your bike on campus? The Fennell Campus is home to a 48-spot secure bike cage. This facility is available to all Mohawk staff and students who cycle to campus. This facility provides an excellent option to store your bike, and adds peace-of-mind to your active commute to and from campus.

Where is the Bike Cage on campus?

The Secure Bike Cage is found on Fennell campus, between the P3 Short-Term Parking Lot and the B-Wing.

Shared Mobility

Shared mobility platforms allow people the freedom to access a car, bicycle or other transportation mode only when they need it, creating more flexibility in the way they get around. Shared mobility reduces or eliminates the need for ownership, and is a more affordable option for many people. Mohawk's Bike Loan Program and on-campus Zipcar vehicles are both examples of shared mobility at the college.

Bike Loan Program

The Bike Loan program is available through the Mohawk College Library.  Hamilton Bike Share offers a network of bikes for loan in the lower city. New Hope Community Bikes offers refurbished bikes for sale. 


Mohawk College Library has 12 bikes to loan to Mohawk College students. They are all 21 gear mountain bikes. Frame sizes vary from 15 inches to 17 inches.

  • Loans are for 3 days, and can be renewed depending on demand and availability.
  • Visit the Customer Service Desk in the Cummings Library to borrow a bike and helmet with your ONE Card. 
  • You must present current Mohawk ID each time you borrow a bike.


Legal stuff: For your first loan, please see Library staff to complete a Bike Loan Agreement. Once you’ve filled out a form, it will be kept on file. After each return, you are required to complete a Bike Return Checklist at the front desk of the Library.  

Zipcar

Mohawk Sustainability has partnered with Zipcar to bring a carshare program to campus. Join for a low as $20/year and get convenient access to reliable vehicles. For more information or to sign up, visit Zipcar Mohawk.

Carpooling

Want to save money on gas and parking? Form a carpool and take turns driving to campus. Parking pass splitting is available and applies to all parking spaces at Fennell and Stoney Creek campuses. 

Need some support with forming a carpool? Worried about how you'd get home in an emergency? View carpooling tips and resources.

How carpool parking works

  • Share your parking permit with up to three others by adding additional license plate numbers to the permit. A total of four license plates can be added to a single permit.
  • Only one registered vehicle may use the permit to park on campus at any one time. 
  • If you need your own vehicle on campus occasionally, you can pay the daily rate. You will still save money if this happens infrequently.


Visit the Parking and ONE card office for more information, or call Parking Services at 905-575-2121.
