Green transportation
Goal: Make walking, cycling, and public transit preferred transportation options
The air we breathe, the amount of land we need, our physical well-being, and the cost of travel are all impacted by our transportation choices.
To improve our quality of life, and achieve the City's green transportation goal, we need to make Vancouver a city where moving on foot or by bike is safe, convenient, and enjoyable.
At the same time, transit should be fast, frequent, reliable, and accessible, and public spaces should be vibrant places alive with people.
Targets
- Make the majority (over 50%) of trips by foot, bicycle, and public transit
- Reduce the average distance driven per resident by 20% from 2007 levels
