To support the City of Edmonton’s ambitious targets to have 50% of trips being made by transit or active transportation, the current project will support the development of an active transportation equity-informed prioritization framework. This framework will be informed by previous research and ongoing mapping and collection of user experiences as part of the current project.
This project is being led by Karim El-Basyouny from the Faculty of Engineering. Candace Nykiforuk, Centre for Healthy Communities Scientific Director is a Co-Principal Investigator on this work and supporting the development of the prioritization framework. The Centre for Healthy Communities and the PLACE Research Lab teams are working in collaboration with Dr. El-Basyouny’s team on this project.
