Smart Commute Hamilton hosts several successful events every year.

Smart Commute Month

Driver, cyclist, GO Train rider – however you get to work, we want to know about it!

Every September, Smart Commute Hamilton conducts a survey to learn more about your travel choices. Complete the survey for a chance to win some awesome prizes.

Our goal is to provide you with better and greener options for getting to work. The more we know about how people are moving around in Hamilton, the more effective our commute options can be. We want to get a full picture of how people are getting around, so if you’re a driver, it’s ok, you can tell us.

During Smart Commute Month, Smart Commute will hold a host of campaigns, survey, contests and challenges to engage you the public to explore and share your transportation options.

Bike Day/Bike Month

Bike Day is an annual, one-day kick-off event to Bike Month and is aimed at promoting cycling as a viable option for all types of travel. It is the official kickoff to Bike Month across the GTHA.
