Title: Sustainable Transportation Legacy of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games
Accession Number: 01337490
Record Type: Component
Abstract: In response to local sustainability policies and the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) recognition in the importance of the environment and sustainable development in sports, a before-and-during monitoring study was conducted for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games held in British Columbia, Canada. The monitoring study comprised of a screenline survey to account for person-trips entering and exiting the City of Vancouver’s Downtown core in various modes. An intercept survey was also conducted at various Olympic Games venues and celebration sites to gather data on the travel patterns of spectators and event attendees. A key result of the study revealed a 61% share of sustainable modes during the Games, up 18% from a pre-Games mode share of 43%, underscoring an overall achievement of the transportation goals of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The resulting travel behaviour documented is a legacy of sustainable transportation from the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, and evidence that mega-events can be a vehicle for change to positively shape urban form and encourage sustainable transportation behaviour.
