The GreenApple Canada 2008 Ranking Report

The Appleton Charitable Foundation’s GreenApple Project arose from collaboration a with the New York City based Jack D. Hidary Foundation's SmartTransportation.org project and is based on a commitment made by the Appleton Foundation at the 2006 Clinton Global Initiative.

The Appleton Foundation committed funding of up to $1 million to enable the production of the first national Canadian cities ranking report on sustainable urban transportation.

In November 2008, the Appleton Foundation released the GreenApple Canada 2008 SMART Transportation Ranking Report in conjunction with the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. The GreenApple Ranking Report identifies best practices that municipal governments can take to enable the use of sustainable urban transportation. This report hopes to raise awareness and enhance the policy making capacity of municipal governments to adopt sustainable urban transportation policies.

Based on the success of both the GreenApple Canada 2007 and 2008 Ranking Reports, the Appleton Charitable Foundation has made plans to produce a U.S. ranking report in 2009.
