Clean transportation

Transportation in 2030
By 2030, B.C. has committed to reducing province-wide emissions to 40 percent below levels recorded in 2007. The CleanBC Roadmap to 2030 (PDF, 9.4MB) maps out the most promising routes to reduce emissions and transition to a cleaner economy.
Two ways we might get around differently in 2030 based on the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030:
- Zero-emission vehicles make up 90 percent of all new car and truck sales in B.C., and a greater percentage of medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales
- About 30 percent of trips take place by walking, cycling or using public transit instead of personal vehicles
How we’re making vehicles and fuels cleaner
B.C. is moving towards a future where passenger vehicles create zero emissions and commercial transportation is significantly cleaner.
See CleanBC actions on cleaner and safer transportation.
How we're making it easier to get around without a car
Active transportation includes walking, cycling and other forms of people-powered travel. Through CleanBC, the province is working with communities to make it easier to get around safely without the use of a car.
