<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Thanks for the input everyone,<br><br></div>On working with Functional Transit, while I think we should be supporting them in the push to retain the transit subsidy, It's part of a push for overall sustainability and something that ultimately reduces traffic (which benefits everyone). Jeremy certainly raises some good points about cuts to transit hitting us as well in the form of fewer bike racks and bike parking at transit stops.<br><br>I'm also very cognizant of the need to partner with them on a number of projects that could/would be mutually beneficial, particularly on protected bike lanes projects that will almost inevitably go along transit corridors (East Corridor RT, Main Street, Provencher, Arlington). They have an excellent relationship with the transit union and are realistically the only functioning transit advocacy group in the city. Getting them on board on some of these projects could help prevent backlash on protected bike lanes from transit users (and I'd say that some of their members/audience need to be swayed), and could also help us magnify our voice when pushing for something like narrower travel lanes or the removal of parking or traffic lanes on a roadway to provide dedicated bus and bike lanes.I also think they could help provide some expertise that would help us in the designs we push forward on projects. Transit priority queues come to mind as a good example where we could collaborate, especially where they help make a case for parking lot purchase that would also handily provide room for proper intersection treatments of protected bike lanes at intersections.<br><br></div>On the carbon pricing coalition, I think Kailey's assessment of the current state of affairs is correct, except that on the carbon tax, the federal government has stated that the provinces will have full discretion on how revenues raised are spent).I believe that they have made noise (if not commitments) about putting an increased portion of federal funding into green initiatives, but that is outside of money raised by the carbon tax. Here are some other arguments in favour of at least involving ourselves in the coalition: <br><br>1) From the press I saw, the carbon pricing coalition has not committed to a revenue recycling model that promises no net tax increase or one that promotes the creation of a green initiative fund from revenue generated by the pricing of carbon. Being at the table and speaking with other members of the coalition could help sway the argument. Obviously, the first model (which is the one I'd say is preferred by the provincial government) leaves us without any funding for AT, beyond the hope of expanded funding being brought forward by the government. I think that would be disastrous.The research I've seen shows that you need a much higher carbon tax than anything that is being proposed to curb demand in anywhere near the levels that are required. So we would be matching no funding for AT (and let's be clear that both the previous and current provincial governments have failed to provide funding for AT at anywhere near the level required/merited) with a policy that fails to address climate change. Yes you can argue that tax space would be opened up from which increased AT funding could be found, but that's a far more difficult political sell than simply taking money from the carbon tax and putting it into AT.<br><br></div><div>2) Unlike industries like trucking, we are not at the table with the provincial government to lobby for funding from any carbon tax in any meaningful way. Joining the carbon pricing coalition can help us amplify our voice and add credibility to our requests for funding.<br><br></div><div>3) On the expertise front, I think we bring some important skills, knowledge, and credibility to the table. It's one thing to talk about so many dollars for AT, so many for transit, and so many for x,y,z, but if you can translate those dollar amounts into tangible projects with projected costs and benefits, I think you are miles ahead of the game. In fact, from what I've seen in the articles I've read on the success/failure of carbon pricing initiatives, it's this kind of knowledge and information that has proven to be most important to make carbon pricing acceptable to the public.<br></div><div><br></div><div>4) The provincial government is not the only level of government that might take notice of our actions with the climate pricing coalition. The Federal Government will also be watching and listening, to whatever degree that helps influence their decision making on how federal funds are allocated (and as Kailey mentioned they are pushing for a focus on green initiatives). Ultimately, we also need to sway the municipal government, who probably has the most to gain from this (I can't understand why they've been silent). Again, joining the coalition helps us push this way as well, and here I think we can definitely contribute by showing the tangible improvements that AT projects can bring, especially in comparison to other projects that might be more palatable from a political standpoint (electric cars come to mind as an often selected option that tends to reduce emissions at a very high cost).<br><br></div><div>5) I really think that its the right thing to do, and that it fits in with our mandate.<br><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>Mark<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 1:22 PM, Jeremy Hull <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hull.jeremy@gmail.com" target="_blank">hull.jeremy@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Mark's suggestion is to work with the Functional Transit group.

This is all very nice and green for sure and many of us as
individuals would be on side. But I don't see that it aligns all
that well with the BWin core mission (what we're here for) or core
competencies (the things we're really good at). <br>
If this money were withdrawn from transit would it be available
for cycling support or would it be a precedent for reducing support
for cycling too? I have no idea. But we really should have some
idea if we are to wade in on this issue. <br>
We would also have to be careful how much group energy we want
allocate to this campaign.<br>
That said, I can see a simple post on the website or a comment
on Facebook urging people to look at the Functional Transit website
and consider the issue as a move back towards private automobiles
and away from public transit, cycling and active transit in
general. Can we spin that to focus on our priorities in a
compelling way?<br>

<div>HI Everyone,<br>
<br>
</div>
I hope your summers have been going well. Sorry for the cross
posting, but I thought it made sense for this issue.
<div><br>
As you may know, the provincial government is planning to end
legislation guaranteeing provincial funding for municipal
transit agencies in Manitoba. Essentially, the current
legislation guarantees that the province will match municipal
funding for any subsidy of transit services (operating
expenses - revenue). This would obviously cause problems for
the city as they would have to choose to either reduce their
subsidy, raise taxes to cover the difference or shift funding
from other projects/priorities to make up the difference.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://functionaltransit.com/" target="_blank">Functional Transit</a>, which lobbies
for improved transit service and changes to the way that the
transit service is run, has put together a letter writing
campaign and is organizing like minded groups to help push for
the maintenance of the existing agreement. I'm taking part in
a meeting this Thursday, August 17th to discuss the strategy.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I'm looking for advice/direction on three items:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
1) Should we use our resources (Facebook, Newsletter) to
promote the letter writing campaign and subsequent planning? I
certainly think we should.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>2) I'd also like to join with them (and other like-minded
organizations) to develop a strategy around carbon pricing and
planning on what to do with the revenues generated from any
carbon tax, with an emphasis on dedicating monies raised to
transit and AT (both capital and operating) Ultimately, I
think it probably makes sense to push towards partnering with
the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mbcarbonpricing/" target="_blank">Manitoba Carbon Pricing Coalition</a>
on this, but I figure it's worth starting with Functional
Transit to try and develop some common goals before advancing
to the bigger group.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>3) From above, you can see that I think it makes sense for
us to get involved in the Manitoba Carbon Pricing Coalition.
What do others think, should I start the process?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>In terms of the money that would be raised from the carbon
tax, it`s huge. Our provincial government's decision to stay
out of the pan-Canadian carbon pricing policy is currently
holding up $66 million over 5 years, with a very serious
threat for that money to be shifted into a general fund
available to all provinces. But even that is small potatoes
compared with the money that would be generated by a carbon
tax. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Here is a partial list of expected carbon tax revenues in
Manitoba. It leaves out off-road transportation (think
agriculture, mining, forestry) as well as other agricultural
emissions (mainly emitted through the use of fertilizer,
livestock and manure management) which may end up getting
exempted or at least dedicated back to their respective
sectors.<br>

Unlike the $66 million, the Federal Government has promised
that any money raised by the carbon tax will stay in the
province it was raised in. The catch is that unless the
province joins in on the Pan-Canadian pricing policy, the
Federal government will decide how it is spent, not the
provincial government. That may be a good thing or a bad
thing.<br>
