ecoMOBILITY

The ecoMOBILITY program aims to reduce emissions from the urban passenger transportation sector by helping municipalities attract residents to less polluting forms of transportation. By increasing the modal share of transportation options such as walking, cycling, public transit and ridesharing (e.g. carpools), harmful emissions can be reduced and other challenges such as congestion and personal health can be addressed.

The ecoMOBILITY Program has two components

1. Financial Support to Implement Transportation Demand Management Projects
   
   
   
   The program will provide financial support to municipalities and regional transportation authorities for transportation demand management (TDM) projects that reduce emissions by shifting personal automobile travel to other modes, reducing the number and length of car trips, and shifting trips to less congested times and routes.
2. Research and Information to Build Capacity to Implement TDM
   The program will build national capacity to implement TDM measures through research, training and the development of resources. Please visit http://www.tc.gc.ca/programs/environment/ecomobility/menu-eng.htm regularly for updates on ecoMOBILITY Capacity Building.
