These guidelines represent suggestions and advice, to be used at the discretion of the municipalities, and are not formal statements of provincial policy.

 

When the guidelines were originally issued in 1992, transit was promoted as a way to help achieve comparative advantages in quality of the environment, quality of life, economic competitiveness and urban vitality. Of particular interest, in light of international and national pressures to address air quality and climate change, transit was seen as helping to reduce emissions.
