The destination has targets to reduce transport emissions from travel to and within the destination. An increase in the use of sustainable, low-emissions vehicles and public transport and active travel (e.g., walking and cycling) is sought in order to reduce the contribution of tourism to air pollution, congestion and climate change.
Example: Quebec City, Canada
Quebec City is actively reducing transportation-related emissions through its Sustainable Mobility Plan, which aligns with the province’s goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 37.5% below 1990 levels by 2030. The city is investing in significant infrastructure, including an electric tramway system set to launch by 2029 and a fully electric bus fleet by 2040. Cycling infrastructure spans over 400 km, with efforts to double cycling trips by 2030, while seasonal pedestrian zones in Old Quebec reduce congestion and promote walking. With over 200 public EV charging stations, support for car sharing and e-bikes, and integrated transport passes for tourists, Quebec City is reshaping urban mobility toward a low-emissions future.
