Our Mission…
BEST’s mission is to make our communities healthier places to live by promoting sustainable transportation and land-use planning, and pedestrian, cycling and transit oriented neighbourhoods. Our mission statement has a broad vision, not only to address environmental, health, and safety concerns relating to transportation issues, but also to increase empowerment and solidarity in the community with respect to these issues. BEST is a membership-based, non-profit charity that works with individual citizens, governments, educators, youth, volunteers and special interest and community groups to create healthy and sustainable communities for everyone. Since its origin as a bicycle group in 1991, BEST has evolved into an integrated voice for all aspects of sustainable transportation, and has become the largest community-based, non-governmental organization devoted to sustainable transportation and land-use issues in western Canada.
Our Vision…
As an organization, BEST is committed to the following ideals, aspirations and values:
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.
