Each row says what a body decides and links to the law, order or bylaw that gives it that role. It does not say who caused a change: markets, households and other governments also move these numbers. Who decides what, for every measure · How we choose
What this number does not show
- From the CRD’s Origin Destination Household Travel Survey, done about every five years; the next is in 2027. The three shares are read from the labels of the CRD’s chart and added here.
One more limit
- The CRD revised its target from 45% to 42% of all trips, to match BC Transit’s revised transit target.
In plain words
Up 2.4 points since 2017. Up 2.4 points since 2017.
Out of all trips residents of the CRD’s Growth Management Planning Area make, the share made walking, cycling or on transit, from the CRD’s household travel survey, next to the regional target.
How we decide “Better”
The change is 9.0% of the earlier value, at or above the 5% threshold.
A higher share means more trips are made without a car, as the regional strategy aims for. 29.0% of trips in 2022 (walking 14.6%, cycling 7.9%, transit 6.5%), against 26.6% in 2017. The Regional Growth Strategy target is 42% by 2038.
Outcome measures read Better, Worse or About the same; published government targets read Ahead of, On or Behind target; value-judgement measures read Rising, Falling or Steady in a neutral colour. A change smaller than the agency's own margin of error, or otherwise smaller than 5% of the earlier value, is About the same (or Steady). No change is calculated across a marked break in a series. The rule.
