Cycle2College

With an aim to encourage youngsters to adapt to cycling early and ensure the new community of young cyclists respect both safety and discipline on the road, SCF proposes to engage colleges to create an environment and infrastructure to enable students to ride to college.

A pilot of this initiative is proposed to be undertaken in Mumbai, wherein colleges in Mumbai are to be divided into five zones and a progressive focus on one zone at a time is planned. All colleges in these zones will be encouraged to participate and students staying in the 7-10 km distances will be encouraged to cycle to college or at least on one particular day of the week. Cycle rental facilities will also be made available at local railway stations and bus depots to ensure inclusion of students who travel from longer distances. The initiative is planned in collaboration with local civic and traffic bodies.
