Transportation
People, goods and resources are more mobile now than ever before, bringing more complex transportation patterns and usage, supporting technologies and resulting air emissions. Marbek helps all levels of government, associations and non-profits with the public policy, programs, initiatives and research to minimize transportation impacts and encourage more sustainable options.
Our policy, program, and research work covers:
- Jurisdictional scales including municipal, provincial and federal
- Transportation modes and usage with a focus on reducing passenger-kilometres and increasing active transportation usage
- Technologies for vehicles, engines/motors, fuels, emission reduction and infrastructure
- Measures such as best practices and considerations in transit use, alternative and active transportation, road patterns and design, right-of-way standards, bikeway and pedestrian standards, parking standards, integrated transportation planning and demand management, and mobility management
Examples:
- Ontario Green Passenger Vehicle Program Design
- Canadian Residential Sector Lifecycle Environmental Impacts
- Sustainable Community Research for Municipalities
