Urth-Routes Mission Statement
Urth-Route is a navigation app focused on sustainable solutions to transportation by promoting the use of alternate transportation modes to stay healthy and reduce your carbon footprint. By informing users of their estimated emissions released for their trip, users can reflect on their contribution to their carbon footprint and climate change.
We encourage the use of alternative transportation modes such as walking, running, and cycling, which release zero emissions. By showing the convenience and accessibility of biking with the inclusion of Community Access Bikeshare stations and bicycle parking locations across the region of Waterloo, communities can be empowered to have active and greener lifestyles.
