City of Burnaby

Published purpose

The Accelerated Mode Shift Big Move recognizes that, to make deep reductions on citywide carbon emissions, we have to tackle one of the major sources: transportation. Our goal is to ensure that by 2040, Burnaby neighbourhoods are walkable, cyclable and transit-supported. By 2050, we hope to see 75% of trips made on public transit and by active transportation, with no increase in vehicle-kilometres travelled. The transportation system will not only move people and goods between destinations, it will provide places for people to meet and participate in city life. Our transportation system will be balanced and inclusive, offering accessible and safe mobility in support of a healthy, green, prosperous and connected community.
