Lighter on the land.

The beauty that draws people to Canada is exactly what we're built to protect. MapleQuest routes travellers toward the greenest way through it.

Sustainability isn't a badge we add at the end — it's a routing decision we make on every trip. When the platform plans your way, it weighs carbon and congestion alongside time and distance.

The problem we route around

Transport is the heaviest footprint in tourism. In 2022, transportation in Canada released nearly 180 million metric tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere. Fixed itineraries and single-occupancy driving quietly add to that total, trip after trip.

Smart eco-routing

MapleQuest reads the city's live conditions, then optimizes routes for traffic, accessibility and environmental impact — actively steering travellers toward electric vehicles, transit and walking wherever they work.

  • Greener-by-default paths, not just the fastest one
  • Carbon and congestion weighed into every recommendation
  • Collaboration with local entities for accurate, hyper-local options

Our pledge

Promote sustainable transport on every route, show the carbon cost of each option in plain terms, and keep partnering with local communities so conscious travel is the easy choice — not the effortful one.
