Check out and contribute to the new Directory of Montreal Initiatives to Reduce Car Use
Following the release of its framework, the Working Group on Reducing Car Dependence is proud to announce the launch of a new tool! Because the transition to a city with reduced car dependence requires major changes, let’s help foster new projects by highlighting the progress that has already been made!
This directory serves several purposes: to highlight and promote Montreal-based initiatives that help reduce household car ownership and to share information about existing projects in our community. By drawing inspiration from one another, let’s give ourselves the opportunity to innovate and try new approaches.
This tool highlights a variety of approaches —both current and past—that have helped address the challenges of excessive motorization at the neighborhood level in Montreal. Several types of projects are listed, such as regulatory initiatives, road planning projects, as well as bicycle workshops, service offerings, and awareness campaigns.
Simply download the document to access more than 48 initiatives.
Who is this guide intended for?
Based on a collaborative and coordinated approach involving some twenty partners on the ground, this directory is intended for anyone (organizations, citizen groups, boroughs, businesses, or institutions) who wish to find inspiration, gain insight, and develop projects aimed at reducing car use.
A tool that grows with you!
The tool’s evolving nature allows you to add new initiatives to the directory. Based on your feedback, updates will be made regularly to best reflect the initiatives across the entire island. It’s easy to do—just email us at the address below.
