GoByBike: An Active Transportation Initiative
Since 2020, AWARE has hosted GoByBike Weeks in Whistler, challenging locals every spring and fall to bike instead of drive—cutting emissions and fostering a stronger, more sustainable community.
The Problem We’re Facing
Whistler’s heavy dependence on cars drives up greenhouse gas emissions, with vehicles accounting for more than half of local emissions. To address this, the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) has set an ambitious goal: by 2030, 50% of all trips in Whistler should be made by transit or active transportation. It’s a big challenge. Without a change in how we get around, our climate goals are out of reach.
Our Step Toward Change
Our approach is all about collaboration and community action. AWARE hosts GoByBike Weeks on behalf of RMOW, in partnership with the GoByBike BC Society, to promote biking’s health benefits and engage locals in making a change. The RMOW’s Big Moves Strategy supports this by expanding transit and active transport options, bringing us closer to our 2030 goal. We’re igniting the behavior change we can’t afford to ignore—and we have to do it together. All of us.
