Well, it's commuter challenge week which includes prizes.

It's actually an online tracking program where any employee can note type of transportation mode and mileage. Kind of clunky. Whatever. They won't replace it...I work in the public sector.

No, discounted transit passes are not offered to employees. City would lose money.

Though right now it's light rail transit system is being expanded now.

Over 30% respondents indicated use of transit to get to work....which is a viable, greener option too to a single occupant car drivers.

Our city is over 1 million people with ever-growing urban sprawl. It's probably one of the fastest metropolitan cities in Canada in terms of expanding geographic spread of land development. It is 7 times the geographic spread for city of Vancouver.

Remember city of Vancouver and City of Toronto are geographically bound by water (and for Vancovuer it's mountains also) and legal boundaries. Both cities can't really expand with huge swaths of single family dwelling neighbourhoods anymore except for the odd infill new residential buildings.

I don't know else to say..because if I start preaching at work, it's too much to hear for some folks. So I just bike, walk myself....people can see I walk my talk.
