Its all aimed at getting away from single occupancy vehicles taking well, it will never be single occupancy vehicles if you are taking a child to school, but trying to combine trips so we are more efficient in terms of getting children to school. So 11 schools, i mean there are 250 schools in the city, it may seem like a drop in the bucket but it was an initial attempt and i would assume that we will have a lot larger participation the next time we do it. Great. Yeah. Its one of these things its one of many, many ways to try to encourage efficiency in transportation and its a step in the process. Then the other thing that i was interested about was the zero waste enforcement. Uhhuh. I think weve spoken a bit about this before. What happens if buildings dont comply with sort of their zero waste obligations . Ultimately fines are an option. We have not gone down that road yet but we certainly have th
Looking at now is efficiencies in trying to think if theres a way to streamline the work we do with other deptds departments on Climate Action plans, for example. Were looking at whatever efficiencies we can in terms of the climate work were already committed to. It seems like theres so what do you i mean do you think well be able to find 15 percent of efficiencies if thats the amount of, sort of, reduction in budget . Or do you think were actually going to have to not work on something next year that we worked on this year . Remember, too, that our budget is somewhat fluid in the sense were always trying to raise funds. If we come up with a new grant 3 months from now, we might not have this deficit at all. And our budgets never static. So our hope is that we will be able to continue to do fund raising and ultimately not have this reduction. Yeah. So that we can continue to do the work. My hope is that, too, but i think it would be helpful to understand how the budget translates into

We have not gone down that road yet but we certainly have that as a part of our tool kit to try to get those buildings that are not participating to comply. So far voluntary efforts have been successful. Great.
