LOL I work in transportation planning in northern Canada at the territorial level and it’s crazy trying to get big changes surrounding sustainable transport to happen. Hell, any kind of transportation change up north is tough. Up here, it falls on the municipality to start, work on and complete transit and active transportation projects, we mostly just come in to assess, catalogue and maintain as territorial gov. Public transit isn’t even a consideration for us outside the “big” city, besides where buses travel on the highway network, which is ~40kms on a network of nearly 5000kms.
If you want to make a difference in your homes transportation network, VOTE IN YOUR MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS, because if its anything like my experience, your provincial/territorial/state government probably won’t bother much with it until it’s already been done.
