he City will explore electric or hydrogen-powered options, or renewable diesel as a transition fuel. Increase active transportation and transit useWalking, wheeling and cycling are examples of active transportation. Together, transit and active transportation - along with micromobility like e-bikes and electric scooters – are the building blocks of sustainable transportation networks. Why? Transportation, including personal and commercial vehicles, makes up 26 per cent of energy use in Regina. By making it easier for people of all ages and abilities to move around the city using active transportation, transit, and other sustainable modes, we can improve health and community wellbeing while reducing the number of motor vehicles on the road which, in turn, reduces emissions. What’s the plan? The City will introduce programs and initiatives that improve and expand public transit and active modes of transportation. An important part of this work will be building safe infrastructure that protects cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers. What’s the goal? By 2025, transit will account for 25 per cent of trips within Regina. By 2050, active transportation methods will account for 50 per cent of all short trips. Leading by example: City employees will be encouraged to use active transportation and transit for their commute. Active transportation and transit use are already being improved throughout the community. In 2022, City Council approved the Regina Transit Master Plan which guides decision making to make transit a primary mode of transportation and to make our community more accessible and sustainable. The Transportation Master Plan is under review and proposes dedicated infrastructure for active modes of transportation. The plan will chart a path for creating strong cycling and walking/wheeling networks and increasing the number of people using active modes for commuting to work or school as well as for recreation. Clean and re-energize industry Currently, the industrial sector accounts for one-third of Regina's emissions. The sector faces some unique challenges but can lower emissions significantly by improving the energy - efficiency of industrial processes, switching to alternate fuels, and transforming the products and services the industry provides. Why? Primary industry includes industries that are involved with extracting natural resources from the earth so they can be turned into products used by people. Currently, these industries produce significant emissions while also supporting the community’s economy, for example through employing approximately one percent of Regina’s labour force. There is an environmental, economic and business case for industry to adapt and not be left behind. What’s the plan? The sector can lower emissions significantly by improving the energy- efficiency of industrial processes, switching to alternate fuels like hydrogen and renewable natural gas, and transforming the products and services the industry provides. What’s the goal? To increase energy efficiency by 30 per cent and electrify 50 per cent of process heat by 2050. Primary industry will reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Leading by example: The City will facilitate advancement in this area by hosting working groups, sharing best practices and publicly showing support for initiatives. The City will bring together industry stakeholders and low-emissions energy providers to determine pilots and paths forward to decarbonize industry.
