Building Active Transportation Infrastructure to Reduce Emissions

Over the past 30 years, visitor numbers to Whistler have more than doubled, and the resident population has increased by more than 70%. With this massive growth comes many more cars. To tackle this issue, the “Climate Action Big Moves Strategy” aims to make 50% of trips within the town car-free by 2030 by developing active transportation infrastructure.

Whistler’s 2022 climate progress report found that the proportion of residents traveling to work using active transportation increased from 46% in summer 2018 to 59% in summer 2022, which is important progress toward the 50% car-free goal for both visitors and residents by 2030. Rates slightly dropped in 2023, possibly due to increased carpooling.
