E-Mobility and the Seven Bold Steps

Several of the City's Seven Bold Steps are directly related to transportation electrification:

• Carbon Free Corporation – The City's corporate operations will strive to achieve net zero emissions by 2030, including its fleet.

• Car Light Community – Accelerate the Master Transportation Plan target for mode split, ensuring 60% of all trips within the City will be by sustainable modes (walk, bike, transit, etc.) by 2030.

• Pollution Free Vehicles – By 2030, 50% of kilometers driven by New Westminster registered vehicle owners will be by zero emissions vehicles.

• Carbon Free Energy – The City of New Westminster will invest in a smart electrical grid to support the required rapid conversion to building and vehicle electrification.

• Quality People-Centred Public Realm – A minimum of 10% of today’s street space that currently only serves motor vehicles, excluding transit, will be reallocated for sustainable transportation or public gathering by 2030. The natural environment will be integrated with the public realm.
