Whereas the provincial government has set a Vehicle Kilometres Traveled reduction target as part of the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030, and local governments are expected to act to help achieve this important climate target; And whereas many municipalities and regional districts may not have adequate traffic count systems in place to rigorously evaluate Vehicle Kilometres Traveled reduction interventions and measure progress towards achieving this target, and that will be a financial cost to design, create and operate improved traffic count systems: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request that the provincial government support local governments to improve traffic count systems for evaluating Vehicle Kilometre Traveled reduction interventions and measuring progress towards the CleanBC Vehicle Kilometres Traveled reduction targets.
