Better Environmentally Sound Transportation

Better Environmentally Sound Transportation (BEST) promotes sustainable transportation solutions to create vibrant, inclusive communities. We advocate for eco-friendly practices that enhance urban livability and reduce environmental impact.

Join BEST Mobility for our 35th Anniversary celebration! An evening of PechaKucha presentations, community connection, networking, and delicious local treats as we reimagine Vancouver&rsquo;s streets for all generations. About the Event For 35 years, BEST Mobility has been advocating for sustainable, healthy, and human-centered transportation. As we mark our 35th anniversary in 2026, we invite you to join us for a milestone evening: Building Streets for Life: How to Create a City for All Ages. Cities are stronger when people of all ages, from young children to older adults, can move safely, confidently, and independently through their communities. This special event brings together local urbanists, city-builders, community advocates, transportation enthusiasts, and members of the BEST community for an energizing conversation about transforming our streets into inclusive, multi-generational public spaces. Whether you&#39;ve been part of BEST&#39;s journey for decades or are simply passionate about vibrant neighbourhoods and better ways to get around, come celebrate 35 years of impact and help shape the future of urban mobility in Vancouver!
