  ABSTRACT: The environmental and health implications of Active Transportation (AT) strategies at the University of Manitoba’s Fort Garry campus in Canada were investigated, focusing on walking, biking, and public transit use of students and staff. We analyzed connectivity, planning, and campus-city integration through mapping, observation, and transportation plan analysis. We found large gaps in connectivity of AT routes within the campus, a lack of AT planning, and poor AT city-campus integration, which explain why AT is decreasing rather than increasing, undermining sustainability on campus. Investing in biking, walking, and bus infrastructure and programs can be a practical, educational, and economical solution to negative environmental, safety, and health impacts posed by vehicles. Universities like the University of Manitoba (UM) have the potential to be leaders in creating an AT ecosystem that mitigates climate change through transportation and turns around the global problem of youth inactivity.
