Figure 3.1 – <strong>Transportation</strong> Vision: Summary and Elements Summary: IN 2031, OTTAWA’S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM WILL ENHANCE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE BY SUPPORTING SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY IN AN ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIVE MANNER. Elements: Support for social, environmental and economic sustainability Elements: Accountability and responsiveness 1. Reduce automobile dependence 2. Meet mobility needs 3. Integrate transportation and land use 4. Protect public health and safety 5. Protect the environment 6. Enhance the economy 7. Deliver cost-effective services 8. Measure performance 9. Protect the public interest 10. Provide adequate and equitable funding 11. Cooperate with other governments 12. Lead by example Element 1: Principles: Reduce automobile dependence a) Give priority to public transit in meeting future growth in travel demand b) Make walking and cycling more attractive than driving for short trips c) Motivate sustainable travel choices through education, promotion, incentives and disincentives d) Encourage shorter trips and travel alternatives like telework In 2031, the ability of residents to access essential opportunities will not depend on their ownership of a car. Urban residents will be able to meet daily needs by walking, cycling, taking transit or ridesharing. Rural residents will continue to rely on cars, but will have other choices. Development of more compact communities will bring homes and destinations closer together and make walking and cycling more practical. Ridesharing will be more convenient and effectively promoted. Transit, however, will remain the most affordable, accessible and all-season travel option for area residents. To this end, the City will undertake a range of measures including new rapid transit and transit priority facilities, fleet expansion, improved access to transit for pedestrians and cyclists, promotional activities and provision of user incentives. New developments and redevelopments will be carefully planned and designed to provide maximum support to transit service and transit users. TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN Page 22 NOVEMBER 2008
Element 2: Principles: Meet mobility needs a) Provide a continuous, integrated system of multimodal facilities and services b) Aim to provide an acceptable standard of service for each mode of travel c) Give priority to public transit, walking and cycling over cars when conflicts arise d) Provide barrier free transportation facilities and services Reducing travel delays to people and goods will remain a key goal in 2031. Travel by bus, light rail and car will be reasonably direct and fast, with quality connections to walking and cycling networks. Goods will move efficiently. Persons with disabilities will not encounter barriers that restrict access to key destinations. To achieve these goals, the City will have provided new infrastructure and services that encourage desired changes in behaviour and prevent unacceptable levels of congestion and delay, neighbourhood traffic infiltration and air pollution. Transit system capacity will have increased substantially to keep pace with a rising population and growth in transit modal split. Despite a reduction the automobile’s modal share, road capacity will also have increased in an effort to preserve minimum acceptable service levels for traffic. Element 3: Principles: Integrate transportation and land use a) Build walkable communities b) Provide rapid transit and other quality transit services to community cores and employment areas c) Foster transit-oriented development in transit nodes and corridors d) Support intensification where transit, walking and cycling can be made most attractive e) Foster a vibrant downtown by improving transit, walking and cycling access f) Recognize the distinct transportation needs of rural communities By 2031, walkability will be the firmly established foundation of urban sustainability, with benefits ranging from health to equity, environment and the economy. Community design will revolve around pedestrian access to transit, especially rapid transit services that offer fast and reliable links between communities and employment centres. Transit will be supported through a consistent approach to development location, mix, density and site design that makes intensification a benefit for quality of life, rather than a burden. While transportation facilities such as sidewalks, pathways, rapid transit lines and roads will enable travel, they will also serve as public spaces and enliven communities through design that is sensitive to their surroundings. Particularly in rural areas, roads will play a balanced role between mobility provider and TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN Page 23 NOVEMBER 2008
