Strategies for addressing buildings, waste, and transportation at the community scale • Tools for policy, regulation, practice, infrastructure and incentive exist for all areas below. • Some are stronger (organics diversion, district energy service areas) and some have a lighter influence (sustainability checklists, marketing, ‘encouraging’) BC MAYO YORS RS Climate Leadership Council
EV Role in Transportation • Electric Vehicles can be one part of an integrated plan for transportation Fuel - Electrify what is left of the passenger fleet and / or biofuels, biofuels and natural gas for the heavy-duty fleet 4 4 Fuel Vehicle Efficiency - Reduce size of vehicles and improve engine 3 efficiency, right-size vehicles to the need, minimize the tonnes of Vehicle 3 steel being moved to move a person Efficiency Mode Shift - Shift remaining kilometers travelled to cycling, 2 2 walking, public transit, ride-sharing and out of the single- Mode Shift occupant vehicle 1 Trip Distance Reduction - Reduce need for Trip Distance Reduction 1 vehicle travel through urban form and transportation demand management BC MAYO YORS RS Climate Leadership Council
