  3. Considering transportation challenges and creating solutions In small groups brainstorm and write down for your transportation option: • What might discourage people from using this low carbon alternative? Be sure to include both personal and systemic factors. • How can we change our cities or systems so that people can more easily access this transportation option and more equitably reap the benefits?

  4. Thoughts to travel with: • Improving public transportation, bike paths, density and community design will improve mobility and lower costs for all British Columbians. • It is essential that we reduce our GHG emissions and redesign our cities for the realities of climate change. • Building new public transit infrastructure and more complete communities is a long-term project. It will require a lot of new green jobs over the coming decades, but done correctly can lead to a better quality of life for many British Columbians.

  5. “A zero emissions transportation system by 2040 is both desirable and achievable” – Transportation Transformation: Building Complete Communities and a Zero-Emission Transportation System in BC

  6. Pair-share discussion question What are some things we can do to make low carbon transportation options more accessible for our school and community, and move towards creating a more complete community?
