BikeShare
The majority of car trips are less than five kilometers and 25% of trips are done commuting from home to work and back again. If people walk or bike for a large percentage of the trips they now take by car, they could save at least 1.6 lbs of volatile organic carbons (VOCs), 12.4 lbs of carbon monoxide, 1 lb of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and 0.68 pounds of carbon dioxide per km traveled.

Travel Tune-Ups
Education on transportation demand management (TDM), and practical information and tools on sustainable transportation, can encourage people to try modes of transportation that are more sustainable – not only benefiting their own lifestyle but also helping alleviate transportation problems in their communities.

Preliminary Evaluation Plan for a Sustainable Transportation System at the Vancouver Island Technology Park (VITP)
Currently the facilities surrounding the Vancouver Island Technology Park do not have the capacity to handle the volume of cars traveling to the area. This project will develop a sustainable transportation plan that will address the lack of parking availability and other facility deficiencies by providing available sustainable transportation alternatives for employees and visitors to the park.

Hamilton Commuter Challenge
Commuting to work in single occupancy vehicles is prevalent in today’s society. This activity represents a significant contribution to the emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Commuter Challenges aim to get people out of their cars and use alternatives such as riding a bicycle , taking the bus or using another means of sustainable transportation to get to work. Commuter Challenges are a fun way of getting people interested in transportation alternatives, while helping to build awareness of sustainable transportation issues.
