Main Street Car Free Day nearly got cancelled this year. @lucymaloneyvancouver helped save it with an urgent motion at council. Today, on that same street, OneCity is announcing Connect Vancouver: our action plan to ensure every neighbourhood gets a real choice in how they get around.

OneCity Vancouver policy announcement graphic titled "Connect Vancouver." Text reads: "Every neighbourhood deserves a real choice in how it gets around." Illustration of a purple bus and a person riding a bicycle. Button reads "Learn More."

OneCity Vancouver graphic with heading "Same city. Very different options." Text reads: "You've stood at a bus stop watching a third full bus drive past. You've wondered whether your kid can bike to school without crossing four lanes of traffic. Downtown: 71% of trips are car-free. Southeast Van: 31%." Illustration of a person walking a dog past trees. Button reads "Let's fix that."

OneCity Vancouver graphic with heading "Our commitments." Three bullet points: Faster buses with priority signals. One connected network: protected walking and cycling routes that actually link up, safe if you're 8 or 80. Safe routes first: schools, parks, and daily errands before anything else. Illustration of four people standing together beside a bus. Button reads "Say More!!"

OneCity Vancouver graphic with three more commitments: Save Mobi: explore public ownership of the bike-share system so it doesn't disappear. Publish a transit report card: a publicly accessible evaluation of progress, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Prioritizing underdeveloped networks: the first communities served will be the ones without access, so everyone in Vancouver has a choice on how to get around. Text reads: "Read the full plan at onecityvancouver.ca/connectvancouver." Illustration of an East Van cross sign, a neighbourhood streetscape, and a person on a bicycle.
