The Way We Move
Objective
Decarbonize Commercial Transportation
1. Accelerate the adoption of zeroemission vehicles for commercial fleets
Accelerate the transition to zero emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles
2. Lead by example by transitioning municipal fleet
Overview
Provincial Action
Local government impact on this sector is currently limited due to lack of availability of commercial-sized electric vehicles, and commercial fleets being owned and operated either privately or from other orders of government.
10% of heavy-duty vehicles electric by 2030
Looking Forward to 2030 – An Aspirational Target
16% of heavy-duty vehicles run on LNG
Commercial fleets have leveraged their investment in charging infrastructure to establish high-powered charging hubs. Transit buses and school buses are electric, providing clean, emission-free travel options for the young and old.
94% of buses electric by 2030
Provincial low carbon fuel standard
Federal Action Tailpipe reduction standards – 40% reduction in tailpipe emission intensity by 2025 from 2015 levels

COMMERCIAL 2: Lead by example by transitioning municipal fleet COMMERCIAL 2.1 – Update corporate policies to prioritize low carbon options
Review and integrate contractual requirements for municipal services to require lower emissions vehicles, increasing over time; These will be done as required by provincial legislation when it is introduced.
