Requires support from the provincial and federal governments. The draft Greenest City plan will advocate for new sources of funding for improved transit (e.g. congestion pricing, vehicle levies).

This is an evolutionary process. The City of Vancouver is already considered a North American leader in this regard. Current and future plans and projects (e.g. Cambie Corridor Planning Program) will continue to embrace this ideal.

Transcare: ICBC needs to charge more for insurance and pay by use is an idea catching on in other places. Some people like to keep a car for a road trip, or emer or a special occasion.At their current rates per day system, it is much cheaper to pay by the year so people use their cars regularly.
Or, we pay as with medicare. This is a public necessity.
Driving should be viewed as a luxury. Not a necessity.
Taxiis could offer great monthly/yearly memberships too
Parking rates MUST be increased.
Insurance rates must be increased because we all have to pay for accidents, car injuries, police surveillance, road maintenance and congestion and pollution.

At Coquitlam Centre and other shopping malls, buses don't even go into the malls, leaving seniors, parents, grandparents with small children to cross 8 to 10 lines of horrendous traffic before the light changes.
Making pedestrians share passageways with automobiles was one of the dumbest designs our civilization has done.
The dumbest is the use of the fossil fueled vehicle.In LA, vehicles out number people.
2 million injured yearly in the US annually and they kill each other on the roads 45,000 times per year.
The average maintenance cost per year for one vehicle is $9,750.An error occurred while saving the comment Oemissions

Oh yes! Transit should be free.
We have medicare, we should Transitcare too.
Besides, more transit, fewer accidents, pollution and less stress and money used for roads, repair, police surveillance, emergency response, hospital care,courts, rehab,street cleaning,etc.Oemissions

the thing with electric vehicles is: the elimination of noise and toxic exhaust.
It is criminal that pedestrians from babes to very elderly are exposed to this 24/7
I would love a carfree city and even where I live, so called rural, pristine SSI, the traffic is horrendous.
We need a class action suit against GM et al for decades of abuse to this planet and its creatures, including citizens.
They are our Weapons of Mass Destruction.
But... people are so addicted to the car, it will be hard to get them off.
A hybrid is not a solution, but there are variations of electric that would help, and conversion is atleast a form of recycling.
