• Industrial Avenue — between St. Laurent Boulevard and Riverside Drive • Innes-Walkley Connection • Conroy Road/Alta Vista Transportation Corridor — between Hunt Club Road and Riverside Drive • Prince of Wales Drive — between Woodroffe Avenue and Hunt Club Road • Riverside Drive — between Hunt Club Road and Highway 417 • Rideau Street/Montreal Road Corridor — between downtown and Blair Road • Richmond Road — between Moodie Drive and Carling Avenue • Bank Street — between Leitrim Road and Walkley Road The City will: 1. Develop a Ridesharing Strategy that recommends specific initiatives involving TDM measures, carpool lots and carpool lanes to increase ridesharing in key travel markets, nodes and corridors. The city will invite the participation of key partners including the National Capital Commission, Ontario Ministry of Transportation, City of Gatineau and adjacent municipalities in Ontario. 2. Conduct initiatives to promote positive public attitudes towards ridesharing, awareness of its personal and environmental benefits, and understanding of how to use area carpool lanes and carpool lots. 3. Promote the City’s online ridematching service (OttawaRideMatch.com) in target markets such as large employers, post-secondary institutions, rural villages and adjacent municipalities, both independently and through partnerships with other levels of government, employers and educational institutions. 4. Work with provincial governments and adjacent municipalities in Ontario and Quebec to study the feasibility of a regional vanpooling service to reduce the number of lengthy interprovincial and rural-urban car commutes. 5. Provide guidance and tools to employers, developers and building operators to help them provide, manage and enforce preferential carpool parking spaces. 6. Routinely consider the potential to operate curb lanes on new or widened roadways as carpool lanes. 7. Consider impacts on safety and quality of service for transit users and cyclists when planning and implementing carpool lanes on arterial roads. 8. Ensure effective enforcement of occupancy regulations for any City carpool lanes, and encourage similar enforcement for carpool lanes under federal or provincial jurisdiction.

6.9 Taxis Taxis play a unique role in Ottawa’s transportation system, and complement walking, cycling, transit and ridesharing as alternatives to driving. They are an important mobility option for business travelers and visitors to Ottawa, for seniors and persons with disabilities, and for many other residents when other choices are unavailable. The taxi industry can help achieve Ottawa’s objectives by offering a travel option linking rural and urban areas, and integrating with other travel modes. At this time, the city administers the issuance of taxi licenses and vehicle inspections. The City will: 1. Enhance taxi services for persons with physical disabilities through the issuance of plates for accessible taxi cabs, and periodically monitor their priority use by such persons. 2. Require large-scale commercial and office building, institutional developments and hotels to make provision for taxi stands on their private properties, where needed to avoid negative impacts from on-street taxi stands. 3. Work with public and private sector partners to enhance the provision of taxi stands at strategic locations including major intermodal hubs such as rapid transit stations, airports, and rail and bus stations. 4. Continue to provide direct telephone access to taxi dispatch in selected rapid transit stations and Park & Ride lots. 5. Work with the taxi industry to improve connectivity with transit services, such as through the use of advanced communication technologies. 6.10 Goods Movement While efficient goods movement by truck, rail and air supports Ottawa’s economic livelihood and competitiveness, trucks remain the primary mode of local freight transportation. Ottawa’s truck route system is generally represented by arterial roads that can withstand use by heavy trucks, the sizes of which are legislated by the Province of Ontario. Designation of truck routes must consider noise, vibrations, emissions and safety impacts. In general, trucking impacts on residential areas can be minimized by providing several alternative routes, so that impacts are not concentrated in one area. Because reduced routing options also increase costs, trucking restrictions on an arterial roads should be considered only where community impacts are significant, where the road in question serves exclusively non-commercial land uses, and where adequate alternative routes are available. Encouraging the use of rail, rather than trucks, to move goods, can also reduce the community impacts of trucking. Section 6.2, Federal and Provincial Roads, should also be referenced for interprovincial truck goods movement. TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN Page 67 NOVEMBER 2008
