Transportation research and monitoring

The 2017 Transportation Action Plan is informed by a breadth of research and monitoring led by the Transportation Advisory Group, as well as valuable input from the residents and visitors who use transportation in Whistler.

The 2017 Transportation Action Plan was developed due to increasing issues affecting transportation to, from and within Whistler. Whistler's larger permanent population and increasing numbers of visitors led to a shortage of parking and traffic congestion. Whistler Council reactivated the Transportation Advisory Group to provide advice and recommendations on the development of the 2017 Transportation Action Plan.
