Objective 10 Opportunities for innovation in transportation are explored

Policies

ST 22

Review transportation policies as new mobility technologies emerge.

ST 23

Support car and bike sharing programs and services by working in partnership with other jurisdictions, public organizations, business and community partners to sustain such services. Work with the Province on removing barriers to micromobility devices such as personal electric scooters, which are not currently permitted on streets and sidewalks. Review and update relevant municipal traffic bylaws upon any new legislative authorities that support micromobility devices. Respond to emerging zero emissions technologies such as electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel and hydrogen vehicles, once the technology is established and widely used. This may include hydrogen producing storage and fueling facilities. Explore innovations in price-signaling and financing practices, such as paid parking, transportation utility fees or user pay systems, to better account for the public costs of personal vehicular transportation, particularly wherever such opportunities are presented through partnerships, granting opportunities, or other investments in innovation.
