Working toward renewed mobility Each one of us can be part of the solution: reducing pollution while also promoting the smoothest possible means of daily mobility.

It has disrupted our familiar routine s and habits whether we walk, cycle (with conventional or power-assist bikes), drive (in electric, hybrid or gasoline-powered vehicles), or use public transit. Might this be a good opportunity to reflect on new options for the way we move about every day? Merely posing this question suggests an answer to it. But reality is not always a simple matter, and even as normalcy gradually returns, we still need to consider transportation solutions in terms of individual and collective benefits. Each one of us can be part of the solution whereby all transportation modes find their optimal value.

The reality is that mobility within Quebec involves avast territory, strewn with challenges like congestion, road conditions, public-transit accessibility, pollution, electric charging, gasoline prices and secure infrastructure for all transportation modes. There are also the societal challenges posed by harmonizing individual needs with collect ive interests – challenges that dem and investment s of money, patience and creativity.
