The FVRD is developing an Active Transportation Network Plan (ATNP) to improve transportation safety and efficiency for active commuting and recreation. Active transportation is non-motorized transportation modes such as walking, cycling, rolling, mobility aids, e-bikes and e-scooters.
This plan is part of our efforts to improve the region's transportation system and lessen its impact on our air quality. It's also about promoting health by giving people more opportunities to walk and bike. The focus is on communities in the FVRD electoral areas, identifying opportunities for improved network connections and creating pathways that are safe and accessible for everyone. We are also considering the bigger picture by making sure this plan connects with neighbouring municipalities' ATNPs and major trail networks linking important places together to create a strong network that benefits everyone, whether they're commuting to an activity or enjoying the outdoors.
We Want to Hear from You
Do you have a vision for active transportation in your community? Your comments, feedback, and ideas related to active transportation will form the foundation of this plan and are important to create a network that fits your community's needs. We are currently conducting the second round of community engagement and are seeking feedback on the proposed priorities, strategies, and plan network
We want to hear from a range of voices to create an Active Transportation Network Plan that reflects the community’s active transportation interests and needs. All opinions are welcome. You can participate through the following avenues:
Community Meetings – Attend a community meeting in your area to discuss how active transportation can be improved in your community.
Online Survey - Fill out the survey and provide your input on the plan's proposed guiding principles and policy direction.
Interactive Map – Explore the online interactive map to review and provide feedback on the proposed network routes.
Let's work together to create more safe and accessible active transportation opportunities in the FVRD!

Active transportation includes all human-powered modes of transportation, including walking, biking, rolling, and using a mobility aid, like a wheelchair. New and emerging transportation modes such as e-scooters and e-bikes also fit in this category and may use some of the same trails and pathways.
Active transportation has many benefits for communities, some of which include:
Health and Wellness: Walking, biking, and rolling are all great ways to be physically active while also improving mental well-being.
Community Connections: Active transportation encourages social interaction, which helps to build trust, respect, understanding and a sense of co-operation among community members.
Improved Safety: Dedicated spaces for active transportation reduce the risk of injury for people walking, cycling, and rolling, which makes people more comfortable using active transportation modes.
Environmental: Completing more trips by walking, biking, and rolling can help lower emissions, reduce traffic congestion, and improve air quality.
Economic: Communities that are inviting and accessible by active transportation can generate more forms of economic stimulation.
Active transportation projects work best when they are connected to a broader network of active transportation infrastructure. The FVRD Active Transportation Network Plan (ATNP) will incorporate existing and planned regional trail networks and connect key regional destinations. The Plan will integrate with municipal active transportation plans, where possible, to create a strong and collaborative network that enhances long-distance commuting and recreational trips for all active modes.
To develop and advance the health of our electoral area communities, the FVRD is working to increase opportunities for active living and reduce motor vehicle-related injuries and fatalities. The ATNP will identify priority areas for network development and address motor vehicle and pedestrian/cyclist conflict areas, with the aim of having multi-use pathways delineated from the road. Moving the region toward active transportation, including related infrastructure and access, has the potential to increase participation in physical activity, increasing overall community health.
Join the discussion and add your ideas for consideration in the plan.
