Transit-to-Parks: Everyone deserves access to nature

green justice, environmental inequality, transit equity, park accessibility, public transportation

This project has three objectives: 1) to develop an online mapping tool assessing transit access to regional and provincial parks across the Metro Vancouver region, 2) to examine transit-dependent neighbourhoods lacking access to regional and provincial parks, and 3) to use rider surveys to find out why people do or do not visit these parks via public transit.
