City Operations Greenhouse Gas Emissions

This data set contains the data behind the Corporate GHG Emissions Measure on the Citizens' Dashboard. The City monitors greenhouse gas emissions from its corporate operations as part of its commitment to lead the community in reducing emissions and ensuring Edmontonians live in an environmentally sustainable city. Staff calculate city operations' greenhouse gas emissions using international standards. These standards include tracking emissions from the city's vehicle and bus fleets and LRT trains, natural gas used to heat City-owned buildings and recreation facilities, electricity used, and emissions resulting from services such as water, solid waste and wastewater treatment.

Mode of Travel for Journey to Work

Mode of Travel for Journey to Work measures the percentage of people who travel to and from work by a method other than driving themselves in a vehicle. Active transportation (e.g. cycling and walking) is an important way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutants, fuel consumption, traffic and parking congestion, employee sick days, and healthcare costs. It also significantly improves people's physical and mental health, and saves households money on fuel, vehicle and parking expenses. Although only 26% of daily trips made are commutes to and from work, these are the trips that set the traffic patterns for each day, resulting in the period of vehicle traffic congestion and therefore influencing the capacity requirements of the transportation network. Generally, Edmonton is trending favourably in this measure with more people choosing to use active transportation and transit for their commutes. Increased environmental awareness, protected bike lanes, and an expanding transit network has made active and public transportation more popular. In coming years, Edmonton will continue to see significant infrastructure investments that will further encourage this shift. This data is collected as part of the municipal census, which is conducted every two years. The Total % Commuting Sustainably column is the total percentage of respondents who selected “transit,” “walking,” “cycling” to indicate how they travel to work.

EPS Domestic Violence Occurrences

This dataset provides the number of EPS-reported criminal and non-criminal occurrences that a violence or abuse component among intimate partners. Domestic violence may include a single act of physical or sexual force, actual or threatened, or a number of acts forming a pattern of abuse through the use of controlling behavior. Government policy related to domestic violence has progressed a great deal over the years (see the Alberta Justice Domestic Violence Handbook, 2014). Notable advancements include the establishment of the Office For the Prevention of Domestic Violence in Alberta in 1984, Alberta Justice' introduction of Prosecutor Guidelines in 2008 and Police Guidelines in 2009 (and updated in 2013), as well as several more recent Alberta legislative Acts that serve to protect victims against domestic violence. These changes have filtered through to EPS and refined our policy & procedures for how we respond to, and better classify, track, and manage these domestic violence occurrences.
