It certainly makes sense when you consider that this phenomenon contributes, among other things, to increased greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/ici.radio-canada.ca\/info\/videos\/1-8578993\/letalement-urbain-a-ottawa-et-gatineau-est-plus-rapi-au-pays?isAutoPlay=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study by Radio-Canada<\/a> on urban sprawl across the country, the Ottawa-Gatineau metropolitan area is the one that has expanded the most over the past&nbsp;20 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that people are buying homes farther and farther from the downtowns, leading to increased daily travel and carbon footprints, not to mention reduced natural environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1813304725-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3194 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1813304725-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1813304725-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1813304725-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1813304725-1536x1150.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tramwaygatineauottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1813304725-2048x1534.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\/767;\" \/><figcaption class=\"screen-reader-text\">The tram&#8217;s role in urban densification<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putting the brakes on urban sprawl is a key factor in preventing global warming. In that regard, the tram\u2019s introduction could prove to be an efficient solution because it would help increase mobility throughout the territory and optimize access to services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setting up a dedicated system promotes the development of residential and commercial projects along its circuit, directly resulting in a certain degree of urban densification. This leads to greater population concentration around the dedicated axis, which results in greater use of public transit and active transportation in lieu of cars. In addition to connecting people and neighbourhoods, a tram provides ready access to different gathering places, such as parks, sport facilities, caf\u00e9s, movie theatres and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The tram in the battle against GHG<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Workers living in a sector with higher density neighbourhoods such as Le Plateau, for instance, must commute beyond their neighbourhood to their workplace. The proportion of those using a car is <a href=\"https:\/\/ici.radio-canada.ca\/info\/2022\/03\/etalement-urbain-densite-population-villes-transport-commun-changements-climatiques\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">up to 77%<\/a> for this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average occupancy per vehicle is generally one person. This inevitably entails road congestion, not to mention the harmful effects of air and noise pollution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tram offers the possibility of reducing traffic jams by moving more people at once. The Gatineau-Ottawa tram will ultimately be able to carry up to 5,000 riders an hour in each direction, which would mean approximately 4,000 fewer vehicles on the road based on an average of 1.25 persons per vehicle. A sustainable mobility solution that will benefit an entire community!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Who can view this page?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This content is intended for the public covered by the exceptions of the Charter of the French language and its regulations.
