How we move around a city makes a big difference to our quality of
life. The air we breathe, the amount of land we need, our physical
health and well-being, and the cost of travel are all impacted by our
transportation choices. Green transportation includes transit, as well
as active transportation like cycling and walking. It is also about the
places we see and experiences we have on the way to our destinations.
To achieve the Green Transportation goal, we need to make
Vancouver a city where moving on foot or by bike is safe, convenient,
and enjoyable. Transit should be fast, frequent, reliable, accessible,
and comfortable, getting you where you need to go when you need
to get there. Streets, public spaces, and neighbourhoods should be
vibrant places that are alive with people, plants, and activities.
