Smart Commute Sudbury
sustainable commuting support for sudbury businesses
Many people working and living in Sudbury commute to work every day using a personal vehicle. Commuting can be stressful for the individual, can lead to excess traffic in town and crowded parking lots, and produces significant greenhouse gas emissions.
Since July 2023, in partnership with City of Greater Sudbury, Smart Commute Sudbury partners with businesses to help promote sustainable alternative transportation for their employees.
To support the transition to alternative commute methods, participating organizations receive:
Private rideshare network on the platform (app and website)
Customized sub-site on the Smart Commute website
Access to the Emergency Ride Home program
Site Assessment for the business’ property
Annual Employee Travel Survey
Work Plan based on gathered information to reach your goals
Regional and Local Campaign materials to boost engagement
register your business
Individuals can register independently or join their organization’s private network to find and post rides.
2026 Commuter Champion: Science North
We’re taking a closer look at some of the actions that helped them earn the award.
Science North has enhanced its Bike Barn, giving employees who choose to cycle to work a secure and convenient place to store their bikes.
The organization offers free Level 2 EV charging for employees, helping make lower-carbon transportation more accessible.
Through Smart Commute activities, coffee breaks and employee surveys, Science North creates opportunities for staff to learn about sustainable transportation and share their experiences and ideas.
Sustainable commuting doesn’t have to look the same at every workplace. What matters is finding ways to make lower-carbon transportation options easier, safer and more accessible for employees
Champion du déplacements durables 2026: Science Nord
Nous examinons de plus près certaines des mesures qui leur ont permis de remporter ce prix.
Science Nord a amélioré son « Bike Barn », offrant ainsi aux employés qui choisissent de se rendre au travail à vélo un endroit sécuritaire et pratique pour entreposer leurs bicyclettes.
L'organisation offre à ses employés un service gratuit de recharge de véhicules électriques de niveau 2, contribuant ainsi à rendre les modes de transport à faibles émissions de carbone plus accessibles.
Grâce aux activités « Smart Commute », aux pauses-café et aux sondages auprès des employés, Science Nord offre à son personnel l’occasion de se renseigner sur les modes de transport durables et de partager leurs expériences et leurs idées.
Les modes de transport durables ne doivent pas nécessairement être les mêmes dans tous les milieux de travail. Ce qui compte, c’est de trouver des moyens de rendre les options de transport à faibles émissions de carbone plus pratiques, plus sécuritaires et plus accessibles pour les employés.
