Transportation & Mobility

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

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:

  1. Create a region-wide network of affordable and convenient transportation options that safely and efficiently facilitates the movement of people and goods. 
  2. Promote active and alternative forms of transportation that prioritize pedestrians and cyclists
