E-Bike Equity Program
Under the TACES Project, the Community Social Planning Council and District of Saanich worked together to support the development of best practices in program design, tools and evaluation metrics for climate-friendly transportation equity.
Working with local experts and drawing from existing research, the CSPC gathered and shared best practices, data sets and metrics to identify priorities and design a regionally focused climate equity framework for transportation.
This program led directly to the introduction of a provincial wide program based on stepped income-qualified rebates.
