Welcome to “Making the Case for Active Transportation”
Information bulletins have been developed for professionals and community members who want to build a case for active transportation in their community. Academic, government and non-government sources are used to build a strong case for implementing active transportation opportunities at the local level. Canadian sources are used whenever available. All bulletins are available in English and French.
Each bulletin includes evidence that supports the investment of time and resources for active transportation opportunities at the local level. They focus on designing communities for moving people and not cars. Recommended actions to increase and strengthen collaborative partnerships for active transportation are also included.
Making the Case for Active Transportation:
We want to know how you are using these bulletins in your efforts towards increasing active transportation opportunities in your community. Send an email stating your community/municipality and how you are using the bulletins to Sue Cragg scragg@cflri.ca . Sue will summarize your feedback on the webpage.

The 2004 National Transportation study was conducted on behalf of Go for Green and the Public Health Agency of Canada, as a follow up to the 1998 Active Transportation Survey. The objective of this report is to present the data and compare findings to the 1998 National Survey on Active Transportation. The survey examines opportunities and participation in active transportation and commuting (walking and cycling) in adults and school aged children.
