Switching to more sustainable modes of transportation at a societal level requires solutions for travelling the first and last mile. This is where e-scooters and e-bikes come in. While there are many advantages to these types of vehicles being integrated into a community’s transportation system, there are also risks that need consideration. Research on this topic can be found here.
“The work we are doing with TIRF and the Action2Zero learning centre they developed with funding provided by Desjardins, may have saved our non-profit. We have been waiting for a comprehensive way to gather intel around community road safety so we can mobilize and support communities to develop a comprehensive road traffic safety plan. TIRF is a trusted road safety research institute and having their expertise support our organization has been invaluable, we hope to continue working directly with TIRF and Desjardins to deploy the Action2Zero assessment in more communities across Alberta and beyond.”
