The Purple Shovel Project

The Purple Shovel Project is an initiative created by our team with the aim to improve access for our community to public transportation. When you find a Purple Shovel in your bus shelter, we ask you to take the time, if you are able too, to shovel the snow around your bus shelter. This allows those with mobility issues, strollers, young kids and those with sneakers to better access the public transportation system. More people on the buses also means less cars on the roads, reducing carbon emissions and helping the snow removal process for the city.

This project was funded by Awesome Ottawa.
