Vancouver’s Mobility Future: Automating Policy into Sustainable Results

Vancouver is committed to get 100% of its energy from renewable sources by 2050. As the City plans beyond Transportation 2040, it is strategically transitioning to be prepared for the full realm of automated, connected, electric, shared vehicles (ACES) while embracing road space reallocation to sustainable transportation modes, more rapid transit and higher speed rail to Seattle. As a Smart City challenge finalist within Canada, the City is preparing for the future of mobility through innovation and partnerships as it continues its journey to move more people by walking, cycling and transit while eliminating fatalities and serious injuries.
