Our preminent member group working on terrestrial transportation issues is Vancouver-based

Better Environmentally Sound Transportation (B.E.S.T.)

BEST strives to make our communities healthier places to live by promoting sustainable transportation and land-use planning, and pedestrian, cycling and transit-oriented neighbourhoods.

BEST promotes changes to make our cities healthier environments and to enhance our quality of life. We envision communities where it is pleasant and convenient to walk, cycle and take transit; where people can safely mingle or play outside; and where cars are an option, not a necessity. BEST strives to provide imaginative and creative policy proposals in transportation and land use planning. BEST monitors development issues, conducts independent research and works with the media to promote intelligent debate and behavioural change. BEST works with educators, decision-makers, planning professionals, transportation advocates and the public to promote cutting-edge models for transportation and liveable communities. BEST is an independent, not for profit agency that advances the public interest. BEST welcomes and supports active citizen participation in the development of public policy and social values.
