What’s in this issue?

In celebration of International Women’s Day, we put together a thinkpiece on gender issues within urban planning: ‘what would a nonsexist city look like?’ inspired by Dolores Hayden’s 1980 essay by the same name.

Our EcoVoyage team also took the time to compile and answer public transit FAQs that you guys have been asking about.

Aaaaand, EXCITING events coming up including our WALK30 campaign and upcoming Bike Valet locations!

💬 What Would a Non-Sexist City Look Like?

Dolores Hayden’s 1980 essay ‘What Would a Non-Sexist City Look Like?’ challenged how gender roles are baked into city design. Decades later, women are still being left behind.

❓ Navigating Vancouver: Public Transit FAQs

In the past months, our Eco-Voyage team at BEST has been delivering workshops and we noticed a few common questions. Below we’ve answered some common questions we get on public transit, especially around Fares, Ticketing, and Safety.
