AVIS
DE MOTION (POUR EXAMEN LORS D’UNE RÉUNION SUBSÉQUENTE)
Councillor / Conseillère Holmes
WHEREAS the City’s 2009 Transportation Demand Management (TDM) budget
lacks funding for workplace programs designed to reduce the use of single
occupancy vehicles during peak hours;
AND WHEREAS EnviroCentre’s ecoMobility
service is designed to reduce the use of single occupancy vehicles in commuting
to work;
BE IT RESOLVED that the Transportation Committee
recommends to Council that the City of Ottawa contract EnviroCentre to ensure
that City workplaces (up to a total of 20 workplaces) with more than 25
employees and less than 100 employees participates in the ecoMobility service
for $500 per workplace, including;
·
an online employee survey to determine current modal
split;
·
customized reports detailing the most feasible TDM
strategies to implement at each City workplace;
·
facilitation of better commuting options through
workshops, seminars and online motivational tools;
·
measurements of modal shift, including vehicle
reduction, use of more sustainable commuting options, and resulting CO2
reductions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if this pilot project
succeeds in measured reductions in the use of single occupancy vehicles during
peak hours by increasing the use of TDM measures in these workplaces,
EnviroCentre will be asked to propose to the Transit Committee and/or the
Transportation Committee, ways in which this service could be expanded to cover
City workplaces with more than 100 employees.
