of trips in Vancouver are made by walking + rolling, cycling, or transit.
Our goal: to help achieve our Climate Emergency Action Plan target that two-thirds of daily trips taken be by active transportation and transit by 2030.
Over the past 20 years, the number of people living, working, and travelling in Vancouver has grown, and there are more trips than ever.
Despite this, the total number of motor vehicles entering Vancouver and downtown has declined. More people than ever choose to get around by walking, cycling, rolling (mobility aid, skateboard, scooter, etc.), and transit.
By walking, cycling, rolling, and taking transit more often, you’re:
- Helping your personal health (Healthy City)
- Helping the health of your environment (Greenest City and Climate Emergency Action Plan)
- Alleviating congestion [Transportation 2040, Climate Emergency Plan, and Transportation Demand Management Action Plan PDF file (843 KB)] to make room on the streets for vehicles who need to be there most (like goods movement and emergency vehicles)
