GET IN ON THE ACT!
Created in 2002, the ACT Office (All-modes Commuting & Transportation) existed to inspire McMaster faculty, staff and students to bike, hike, take transit and share the ride to campus.
In November 2008, the ACT Office transformed into the Office of Sustainability where initiatives relating to sustainable transportation will continue to thrive.

What would you do with 32 extra minutes each day?
Residents of the greater Toronto and Hamilton area are asked to visit your32.com/mcmaster to share what they would do with 32 extra minutes each day. That number refers to the time the average commuter will save if the regional transportation plan, The Big Move, is funded and realized over the next 25 years.

The Flex Pass
To encourage staff, faculty and students to take a sustainable mode of transportation, Security & Parking Services has introduced the Flex Pass- a ten visit reloadable parking pass. Flex Passes expire 12 months from the date of purchase, and can be used for many lots on campus. For the fair-weather cyclist or the potential walker who occasionally has off campus meetings, or for anyone who drives to campus nine times or less each month, the Flex Pass provides a more sustainable option for on-campus parking.
Where to Park:
All gated lots with the exception of Lot A, Lot B & Lot D.
Cost:
$90 for 10 entry/exits
How to Purchase:
Attend the Parking Office, located in the E.T. Clark Centre, Room 102. Make payment by cash, credit, debit, or cheque.
Community CarShare
McMaster University and Community CarShare, the city's non-profit car-sharing co-operative, have worked together to bring car-sharing to McMaster's main campus.
The vehicle, a 2008 Toyota Yaris, will be stationed in the parking lot at the corner of Sterling and Forsyth. Other CarShare vehicles can be found here
