The CRD Board Priorities and Corporate Plan identifies transportation as a key regional priority and envisions residents having access to a convenient, green and affordable multi-modal transportation network that enhances community well-being.
Helping to further this priority, the CRD works with municipalities and school communities in the CRD’s Ready Step Roll – Sustainable School Commute Planning Initiative which aims to increase rates of students using active and sustainable modes of transportation for their commute to and/or from school, using a school catchment/neighbourhood-based planning process.
A summary of actions arising from the initiative is presented in the final Sustainable School Commute Planning Report. The final report shows the work being implemented collaboratively with multiple stakeholders including parents, students, school administration, school boards, transportation planners and engineers, public health agencies and law enforcement.
