Is your small or rural community trying to reduce GHGs and wondering which TDM methods might actually work for you?
Perhaps you provide a social, health, or commercial service in a rural area and see some of your clients struggle with transportation issues?
Do you wonder how rural residents and communities will adapt to a post-cheap-oil world?
This learning event will bring together transportation, land use, health, recreation and other practitioners on Vancouver Island and the Coast
who would like to hear about TDM innovations and successes, and talk about how to take action together.
Tentative Agenda:
Setting the Context: Regional District of Nanaimo
• Transportation Demand Management: A Small and Mid-Sized Communities Toolkit - Fraser Basin Council
• Innovations with Transit, Car Use, and in the Pedestrian and Cycle Realms – Salt Spring Island, Nanaimo Car Share Coop, Duncan Car Free Zone, and more!
• BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and Your Community GHG Reduction Goals – MoTI Regional Manager, Programming, Partnerships & Planning
• Dialogue: what are the untapped opportunities for TDM in your community? On the Island? What do we need to make it happen?
