Road to Zero - Capital Regional District Launch

To reduce regional emissions by 33% by 2020, communities in the CRD will collectively need to eliminate more than 500,000 tonnes of CO2e - in less than a decade. Intelligent land use and sustainable transportation systems are critical to achieving this target.

The Road to Zero Project links land use and transportation infrastructure to greenhouse gas emissions now and in the future.

Funded by Environment Canada, BC Transit, the Capital Regional District, and the Community Energy Association, Road to Zero will help local governments identify the most effective land use and transportation solutions and accelerate adoption of policy, planning and regulatory measures to reduce emissions. Road to Zero makes the case for both short-term transportation solutions and long-term land use planning.
