HUB (Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition) | HASTe - Hub for Active School Travel

HUB (formerly the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition) are a non-profit society here to make cycling better through advocacy, education and celebration. We’re leading the way in making cycling an attractive choice for everyone in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The HUB's mission is to make cycling an integral part of transportation culture throughout Metro Vancouver. The HUB believes that increased bicycle use has the potential to:

reduce traffic congestion,
improve our health, and
enhance our urban environment.

We work to change the circumstances that discourage bicycle use: inadequate cycling facilities, and lack of education for both cyclists and motorists. We do this by working with municipal, provincial, and federal politicians and government staff, and by offering advocacy support and education to groups and individuals in the Lower Mainland.
