Today, Jennifer O'Connell, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, and Brianna Salmon, Executive Director of Green Communities Canada, announced a federal investment of $50,000 to support the development and roll-out of a survey to gather information on the different modes of transportation Ontario residents use to get to school.
Once complete, the survey results will help create a measurement tool and a baseline of travel patterns to help local municipalities, regional transit agencies, and the Government of Ontario help more Ontarians use active transportation to get to school.
Funding announced today contributes to Canada's National Active Transportation Strategy by supporting planning and engagement activities that will help expand networks of pathways, bike lanes, trails and pedestrian bridges.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
