Which mode of transportation is allowed at YYC?

Bicycle use by CPS (Calgary Police Service) and EMS (Emergency Medical Services) is allowed in certain designated areas at YYC for operational purposes. This is due to the need for rapid response times in emergency situations, where officers and paramedics are able to navigate the airport environment quickly and efficiently using bicycles.

The regulation of bicycle use to specific personnel ensures safety and maintains traffic flow in the airport. Authorized personnel are trained to operate in the unique environment of an airport, which includes understanding security protocols and navigational routes.

In contrast, personal bicycles for any employee, motorcycles for all staff, and skateboards throughout the airport are not permitted as they could pose safety risks, potentially interfere with airport operations, and hinder the movement of emergency vehicles and personnel. Thus, the restriction is put in place to maintain security and operational integrity at the airport.
