Sunnybrook has partnered with Smart Commute NET in an effort to showcase its environmental commitment and help reduce the pressure on hospital parking. With more than 9,000 employees, plus thousands of visitors, parking at Sunnybrook is at a premium. Working with Smart Commute NET, Sunnybrook has already made progress with its TDM goals: 

Carpooling

Join the Sunnybrook Carpool Zone group to share the ride and save money on gas.

Cycling
 
Sunnybrook continues to support a growing cycling community, with an active Bicycle User Group in operation at the Bayview and Lawrence site.

A map of on-site cycling infrastructure (routes, bike racks and bike cages) has been developed. The map gives information on obtaining access to bike cages and identifies which cages have waiting lists.

Shuttle Buses

Sunnybrook offers a shuttle service which provides transportation between its three sites including the Sunnybrook campus, The Holland Orthopaedic and Arthritic Centre and Women's College Hospital. The shuttle also provides an express service to the TTC Yonge and Lawrence Subway Station as a method of encouraging transit use to and from campus. The express shuttle bus is also environmentally friendly as it has been outfitted as a dual fuel system operating with natural gas as the primary fuel and gasoline as the back-up fuel. Natural gas buses emit 50% less nitrogen oxides (NOx), 90% less sulphur oxides (SOx), and 97% less small particulates than conventional buses making it a cleaner alternative and reducing Sunnybrook's environmental impact.
