We all need to get from A to B, and sometimes C and D, every single day.
The method of transportation we choose has a direct effect on our air quality. Vehicle-based transportation is currently one of the most significant sources of air pollution in the Sea-to-Sky Airshed. There are already many alternatives to cars available for transportation in the region, in addition to innovative pilot projects which explore alternative fuels and technologies. 
What We’re Doing
SSCAS hopes to facilitate discussion and integrate transportation planning throughout the region in order to make alternatives to the car both accessible and feasible.
We are currently seeking funding towards a needs assessment on transit services for recreation and backcountry users. We hope that tapping into this demographic of riders will translate into increased availability and frequency of transit options within the airshed.
