2025-26 Walk Bike Roll Mini Grant Application

Walk Bike Roll Mini Grants of up to $1,500 are available to Vancouver public schools through the City of Vancouver’s School Active Travel Program. Grants support projects and activities that encourage and promote students walking, cycling, rolling (wheelchair, skateboard or scooter), or taking transit to school. Schools can choose to link their activities to existing events or implement their own project.

New for 2025-26, schools are invited to apply for one of three grant streams:

General Walk Bike Roll Projects – Elementary and Annex
Up to $500 available for projects that promote walking, biking, rolling or taking transit to school
General Walk Bike Roll Projects – Secondary
Up to $1,000 available for projects that promote walking, biking, rolling or taking transit to school
Walking School Bus and Bike Bus Programs – Elementary and Annex
Up to $1,500 available for schools implementing new or existing parent-led walking school bus or bike bus programs. Schools participating in the Walking School Bus Program delivered by the Society for Children and Youth of BC, or the Bike Bus Program delivered by HUB Cycling are not eligible for this funding

Projects that build capacity for the school community to grow and sustain an active transportation and transit culture will be given preference. We encourage teachers, parents/guardians, students and community partners to collaborate on all projects and activities where feasible.
