Parking & Transportation
Camosun encourages and supports the use of alternative modes of transportation to campus both in support of Go Green initiatives and because of the limited availability of parking spaces. Public transportation, bicycle and carpooling to campus are all viable options which reduce parking congestion and help the environment. If bringing a personal vehicle to Campus is a necessity, parking is provided on a first-come, first-served basis—parking spaces cannot be guaranteed or reserved. Information on Parking and Rates
Camosun has adopted a Transportation and Parking Plan which addresses a variety of transportation issues identified by the Camosun community. Camosun is committed to reducing the amount of single occupancy vehicles coming to campus though encouraging alternative modes. Camosun is planning for the future.
Parking and Transportation needs your help to advance the ideas developed in our Transportation and Parking Plan. We’d love to have your energy and enthusiasm! Get involved...

Green Your World: Holistic resolutions
Posted Thu, 19 Jan 2012
January 10, 2012 by Luke Kozlowski, Camosun Students for Environmental Awareness
Another year, another post-holiday shame-spiral induced by feasting and partying. Sure, you could hit the gym, but in the event that this resolution has failed in the past, consider some green pledges for 2012.
What better way to trim the fat than by hopping on a bike? Local bike collective Recyclistas would be happy to set you up with an affordable steed.
Then, since you’re likely on an alcohol fast, do yourself a favour and spend a little more of that student loan on some rain gear and bike lights. Your future children will thank you for it.
Live too far from school? Bike halfway, then take a bus, or vice-versa. After all, that is why they have those racks on the front of the bus.
Why not save yourself the stress of dealing with traffic, as well as reduce parking expenses, tighten that flab, and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions?

Two-wheel transport speeds ahead on campus
Posted Wed, 30 Nov 2011
If you were to design the perfect bicycling environment, it would include safe, well-maintained and lit streets. It would have almost no car traffic, dedicated bike paths and ample secure parking and storage. It might even have showers purpose-built for sweaty commuters and a well-equipped repair shop where cyclists can get help fixing a flat tire. In short, it would look quite a bit like the campus of McMaster University.
