Sustainable Travel Guide

For daily commutes or local travel within the city:

• Walk or bike when possible.
• Use public transit (bus, metro).
• Consider carpooling if needed.

For travel to nearby cities like Quebec, Ottawa, or Toronto:

• Take the bus or train (e.g., VIA Rail, Orleans Express).
• Use shared rides or carpooling apps.

If you must fly:

• Choose direct flights over connecting ones.
• Use Google Flights to compare CO₂ emissions.
• Use public transit or shared rides to/from the airport.
• Pick accommodation near the conference venue.
• Stay longer and combine multiple purposes in one trip.

Embrace slow travel: Take time to reflect, work, or enjoy the journey. Trains can offer WiFi or offline productivity time.

• Use our CO₂ Comparison Tool to compare emissions by travel mode.
• Use our Travel Decision Assistant to reflect on your trip’s purpose. 
• Prefer attending conferences closer to home or those with remote options.
• Consider alternating long-distance trips with periods of reduced  travel.
