When I say “infrastructure”, that includes where infrastructure already exists, and it includes an existing network of roads.
I live in a very small community, but we're supporting public transit. It's not through subway expansion in a community of 9,500 people, but with a small bus that's helping seniors, low-income families and Canadians living with disabilities access the service they need in their community.
I recognize that cars are essential for a lot of people in the communities where we live, but we can do more to create opportunities for people to use public transit and active transportation and to build walkable communities, while still recognizing that some people are going to need cars for some parts of their lives.
We can improve their ability to move through their communities in different ways if we make smart infrastructure investments going forward.
