Better Environmentally Sound Transportation (BEST) is a Vancouver-based Canadian charity focused on promoting mobility justice through programs around walking, cycling, public transit, and other forms of sustainable transportation in British Columbia. Founded in 1991, this non-profit organization has built innovative programs which seek to remove barriers to active, low-carbon, and green travel, such as The Bicycle Valet, Seniors on the Move, and Living Streets. BEST maintains itself through social enterprises, grants, sponsorships, and donations. History BEST is a non profit organization, established in 1991. It seeks to make cycling a more accessible form of transportation, not just for the privileged few, but also for people with lower incomes and limited access to cars. Through time, it evolved to advocate and encourage all forms of sustainable transportation. The organization started Our Community Bikes, Vancouver’s first do-it-yourself bike store which includes a full-service mechanic and retail bike shop, a club for youth to learn bike skills, as well as Pedals for the People which provides refurbished bikes to people in need. In 1997 BEST launched the Go Green Choices Program, working with TransLink, the regional transportation authority, to promote sustainable transportation to workplaces. Two years later it spun Our Community Bikes into its own non-profit, PEDAL, which ran summer bike camps for kids, refurbishes old bikes, and trained and teaches people to fix their bikes. Also, that year, BEST started Street Reclaiming, Moving for Change, and Off-Ramp, an internationally awarded project promoting sustainable transportation in secondary schools. BEST is well-known for its role in the development of the Central Valley Greenway, a 24-km long pedestrian and cyclist route running from Vancouver to New Westminster through Burnaby. This project kickstarted when Vancity Credit Union awarded BEST with a 1 million dollar grant to develop the project. BEST received a Gold Environmental Star from the City of Burnaby for this work. BEST also created and ran an annual celebratory campaign aimed at promoting bicycling in British Columbia. The initiative called June is Bike Month resulted in unprecedented media coverage and awareness. After 10 years, the initiative resulted in the creation of an online page highlighting the great cycling activities going on in the region. Over the years, BEST has focused on building viable social enterprises based on offering services to encourage and enable sustainable modes of transportation for the community. In 2016, BEST began offering Parkbus BC to transport people to BC Provincial Parks
