Destination Downtown

Helping you explore new ways to get downtown.

Destination Downtown is a travel options program offered by the City of Vancouver. It is your one-stop-shop to get around Vancouver’s Downtown District. Whether you commute to work or live downtown, we’ll help get you where you need to go.

Join the movement

It’s no secret that downtown Vancouver is growing, which is why we want to help people living and working here select an alternative to driving alone. When you choose to carpool, walk or bike instead of driving, you help us remove cars from our streets, eliminate parking areas, and protect the beauty of downtown.

Good for the environment. Good for your health. And good for your wallet!

Want to finish that great book or maybe burn a few more calories?  Save some time and money or improve your health?  Not driving alone makes it possible to do all of this, and it helps the environment. We’ve got some great options and resources to get you started. Take a look!

Because how you get here matters. 

Destination Downtown is a travel options program offered by the City of Vancouver to meet climate, equity, and safety goals in Vancouver’s Downtown District.
