Share the Road
Started back in 2012, the Share the Road Campaign has been hard at work to spread knowledge around road safety to Nova Scotians. From digital resources to learn safe cycling habits, to pop-up tables at events around the Halifax Region, the Share the Road campaign is spreading the message of safe and responsible road use.听
Travel Activity Surveys
DalTRAC has conducted the NovaTRAC and CanTRAC surveys to understand the mobility and lifestyle patterns of residents in multiple Canadian cities. As well, DalTRAC conducted the ComTRAC survey to understand the movement of goods through an urban setting.

Streetsense Network Project
2016

Connect Smart Project
2017-2019
The Connect Smart Project, operated by DalTRAC and funded by the Province of Nova Scotia, was a campaign to create conversation around future of travel in Nova Scotia. Through the project, people discussed mobility options such as driverless cars and electric vehicles, among others, and how these means of getting around tie in with local land use.
