Directions
balances the requirements of the full range of potential
users.
Streets should be designed with sidewalks and
crossings that are comfortable to use, with frequent
intersections and crossing points.
The design of streets should help support the
establishment of an extensive cycling network, creating
safe and convenient streets for cyclists.
Ontario’s Cycling Strategy provides a route map to support and
encourage this growth in cycling over the next 20 years. The key
s trategic directions and area of actions are:
Design Healthy, Active and Prosperous Communities
Partner with municipalities and transit agencies to integrate
cycling with transit.
Ensure that bicycles are better accommodated in
institutional, residential and commercial buildings.
Improve Cycling Infrastructures
Fund provincial and municipal cycling infrastructure pilot
projects to test new ideas and gather data.
Make adherence to design guidelines conditional to
receiving funding.
Make Highways and Streets Safer.
Create a safer cycling environment for people of all ages
and skill levels.
Ontario's Climate Change Action Plan is a five-year plan that will
help Ontario fight climate change over the long term. The plan calls
f or a cleaner transportation system by:
Increasing availability and use low-carbon fuel;
increasing the availability of zero-emission vehicles such as
electric-vehicles, and charging stations;
creating a better cycling network, bicycle parking, and
additional funding #CycleON implementation;
