There is no denying the extent of the climate emergency: rethinking collective mobility for future generations is an imperative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a means to fight GHG emissions, the trams helps limit urban sprawl, which, over the past 20 years, has been growing at a fair clip in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ici.radio-canada.ca\/info\/2022\/03\/etalement-urbain-densite-population-villes-transport-commun-changements-climatiques\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ottawa-Gatineau area<\/a>. By promoting densification around existing and future infrastructures, this system, referred to as a \u201cdedicated system\u201d, will help transform the region\u2019s land uses in a way that will minimize the exodus to remote rural areas, which goes hand in hand with increased dependence on single-occupancy vehicles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This modal transfer from single occupancy vehicles to public transit will generate other benefits, such as reduced energy use per person. At the end of the day, the concept of one family owning several cars will be put into question as families consider their potential annual savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other than its environmental benefits, a tram will help promote the region\u2019s economic prosperity by making it easier to reach businesses and get to recreational activities at any time of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1713304108-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4131 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1713304108-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1713304108-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1713304108-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1713304108-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1713304108-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption class=\"screen-reader-text\">The tram : an engine for sustainable development<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pandemic may well have redefined standards in terms of teleworking, but this does not apply to all jobs. Workers are back in person for many types of jobs (sometimes in hybrid form), and with that, downtowns across the country will find themselves coming back to life. And because mobility is not only an issue for workers, the greater frequency of trams should shift the flow from peak to off-peak periods, which will benefit everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, there has been a resurgence in the popularity of modern trams.
