What would it take you to get out of your car and walk, bike or use an alternate form of transportation?
That’s the focus of Kitchener’s proposed new transportation demand management strategy.
The city’s Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee has approved the principles of the strategy, which includes a variety of options including subsidized corporate Grand River Transit passes, carpool matching and a guaranteed ride home program.
The goal is to reduce traffic congestion and in turn improve air quality.
Some of these initiatives, and others, could be phased in over a 5- year period.
On another front, the city is hosting a Transportation Master Plan information session on Tuesday. It’s taking place in the Rotunda at Kitchener City Hall from 4:30 to 7:30 pm.
