​Land use is mostly car-oriented.


PictureNote: Graphs do not total 100%. The census includes category "Other" for trips by any other mode.

​The North Shore and most of Metro Vancouver has dispersed and low-density land use. As a result, the car is more convenient for most trips.
​
​Active modes of transportation (i.e., walking, cycling and transit) vary within different parts of the North Shore, highlighting transit-supportive land use as one of the key factors associated with higher active mode and transit adoption (e.g., Lonsdale corridor).
​

Approved municipal plans on the North Shore contain visions for compact, complete, and vibrant urban centres with a range of housing options, serviced by active transportation networks and well-connected by transit. This aims to make travel by walking, cycling and transit the preferred options for more trips.
