Village de la Gare, Quebec
• Village de la Gare is a new sustainable development in the Montreal metropolitan region, about 40km from the city centre.
• The plan is to create a mixed use, p ,transit oriented community with greater focus on walking, bicycling and transit than on automobile use.
• First master-planned, TOD project in Quebec
44% t it d h ( i t• 44% transit mode share (non-private car use)

B fitTransit Efficiency Bicycle Lanes Walking Environment
• Benefits• Pedestrian and bicycle connectivity to transit, jobs, schools and services
• Encourages active transportation for local and discretionary trips• Faster, more frequent bus service
• Bridge the gap between the GO Train and job and housing destinations, decreasing local congestion and parking footprint
Transportation & AccessK St t i• Key Strategies
Discounted transit Parking Pricing Carpooling
• Benefits• Incentivize transit use through discounts and tax breaks• On-street metered parking and garages decrease parking footprint and p g g g p g p
discourage unnecessary driving trips• Carpooling decreases VMT/capita and maximizes efficiency of auto trips
