Transport Pricing Suspension Referral

Summary

• Motion to suspend all City of Vancouver work on transport pricing (road pricing, congestion pricing) including planning for Downtown Vancouver and the Central Broadway Corridor under the Climate Emergency Action Plan, and to reassign affected staff to other transportation priorities.
• Rationale: while reducing vehicle trips is a valid goal, the public has clearly indicated opposition to a road tax.
• Carve-out: City staff may continue participating in regional transportation discussions.
• Referred unanimously to the Standing Committee on Policy and Strategic Priorities (November 16, 2022) for public speakers, debate, and decision.
