Back to all Network Members

The City of Montreal has adopted a transportation plan that encourages cycling, walking and public transport use, is efficient and innovative in the management of waste, and applies urban planning and construction regulations that support the development of a compact, liveable city.

Over the next few years, we will have to review how we build our neighbourhoods, our city. The greenhouse gas emissions produced by vehicles on our roads will have to be reduced. Renewable energy sources will have to be introduced and the efficiency of the transport of goods will have to be improved so that the air we breathe is no longer the cost of our transport habits. We are firmly committed to keeping our word, being proactive and ensuring better air quality for future generations."
