Transportation & Mobility
As the region strives for higher levels of choice and efficiency in transportation systems, integrated transportation and land use planning will be essential. While a wider range of transportation options contribute to improved mobility for all residents, promoting compact, mixed-use development within established community centres can also reduce car dependency and encourage walking, cycling, and other forms of active transportation
RGS Goal
To develop a safe and efficient transportation system for people and goods that promotes transit, walking and cycling, and minimizes the transportation system’s impact on air quality.
Key Policy Directions:
- Create a region-wide network of affordable and convenient transportation options that safely and efficiently facilitates the movement of people and goods.
- Promote active and alternative forms of transportation that prioritize pedestrians and cyclists
