2.3.4 Travel origins and destinations<br />
Highest volume corridors. The major travel flows between districts in the National Capital<br />
Region for weekday mornings in 2005 (where at least 3,000 persons travelled) are shown in<br />
Figure 2.4. The figure clearly shows that downtown <strong>Ottawa</strong> is a dominant destination (23% of<br />
trips shown), and that a significantly greater number of residents crossed the Greenbelt from<br />
Orléans than from Kanata-Stittsville. It also shows that 57% of trips to central <strong>Ottawa</strong> from other<br />
districts came from east of the Rideau River, versus 43% from areas to the west. The largest trip<br />
flows in directions other than to downtown occurred from Orléans to <strong>Ottawa</strong> East/Beacon Hill<br />
(8,400), Hunt Club to Alta Vista (7,500 trips), Orléans to Alta Vista (5,300 trips), and Bayshore<br />
to Merivale (5,000 trips).<br />
