Transportation Services

Toronto Bus on University Ave

York University Transportation Services encourage commuting to the University as an alternative to single occupant vehicles, and supports community members in taking public transit, carpooling, biking, and walking. Our goal is to reduce the demand for parking at York University by increasing awareness of alternative sustainable methods of transportation.
