Public Transit to Industrial Lands and Business Parks

Whereas local governments are working to promote the use of public transit and active transportation over traditional automotive commuting; And whereas industrial areas and business parks are, by design, located some distance away from urban centres and residential areas, and public transit options, such as regular bus services or shuttles, are not provided with the same frequency or convenience for workers in those areas who may have no option but to rely on a single occupancy car to get to and from work: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM ask the provincial government to develop a comprehensive public transit service plan for industrial lands and business parks to provide better commuting options for workers to those areas.
