Results for 2023 increased dramatically amongst both resident groups, likely due to 2022 results being impacted by transit strikes. In December 2022 and through winter 2023, there was a transit driver shortage making transit unreliable as trips dropped daily through winter 2022/23. On February 6, 2023, a lower level of transit service was introduced in an attempt increase reliability for the remainder of winter. There were still trips dropped almost daily through to mid-April when dropping to shoulder season transit service levels.
Why we monitor this
Encouraging individuals to use low impact transportation modes and transition from single occupancy vehicle (SOV) travel, requires a high level of satisfaction in alternatives such as walking, biking, transit and car pooling. These alternative options must therefore be convenient and attractive for use by residents or visitors.
What this measures
This indicator reports on resident satisfaction with Whistler’s transportation alternatives to the single occupancy vehicle (SOV) such as mass transit and the valley trail network.
