Supporting sustainable transportation cluster development in Toronto

Within the green sector in Toronto, the largest cluster is sustainable transportation, which makes up 38% of green jobs, and is the fastest growing cluster in the sector at 4.9% compared to the overall green sector at 3.9% and across all industries in Toronto at 1.9% (5-year average between 2015-2019). As such, in order to support the incredible growth of the sustainable transportation cluster especially as it recovers from the COVID-19 global pandemic, a report is scheduled to be submitted to City Council in 2023 to determine the roadmap to develop a cluster management organization. This organization will be headquartered at a proposed sustainable transportation hub in Toronto which will also feature an innovation lab, training and meeting space, and co-working desks to support the innovation and growth of the businesses within this sector. To prepare for this hub, this project will feature the development of a business operations plan for the hub. It will also support the work of the micromobility sector within the sustainable transportation cluster.
