From: CycleONStrategy [mailto:CycleONStrategy@ontario.ca] Sent: 2018/02/05 1:43 PM Subject: #CycleON Action Plan 2.0 Proposal: Open for Comment

Cycling plays an important role in connecting the province’s communities, promoting a healthy lifestyle and enhancing our quality of life. Through #CycleON: Ontario’s Cycling Strategy and related Action Plan 1.0, we are continuing to expand our cycling network, building up cycling infrastructure and promoting behavioural shifts. Part of the #CycleON strategy is to launch a series of action plans to achieve Ontario’s 20-year vision for cycling. Action Plan 2.0 will explore new opportunities to encourage cycling – whether for commuting or for pleasure. This proposal was developed in collaboration with other ministries and sector stakeholders. Some of the proposed actions are already being implemented, and others are new ideas. The proposed Action Plan 2.0 is posted on the Environmental Registry until March 7, 2018. We invite you to review the proposal, provide us with your comments and share this information with your network of contacts. Your input will shape an Action Plan 2.0 that encourages active transportation, helps to create healthy habits and supports Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan. Thank you for your interest and support in advancing cycling and helping make Ontario a North American cycling leader.

Some specific questions the ministries would like to discuss are:

• Will the proposed initiatives help us achieve Ontario’s goals for cycling? • What challenges should we expect to encounter as we pursue the proposed initiatives? • Are there other important actions that Ontario should take in the next 5 years to help us meet our goals for cycling?

This proposal serves as the basis of MTO and MTCS’ consultation on Action Plan 2.0’s action items. We invite you to provide us with your responses to any or all of them. Any feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

Purpose of Policy:

Cycling generates a wide range of health, economic, environmental, and social benefits. These include improved personal health, reduced health care costs as a result of lower rates of chronic conditions through active living, reduced traffic congestion in urban areas, a cleaner environment and increased tourism opportunities across the province.

To support the expansion of cycling initiatives in the province, Ontario established #CycleON: Ontario’s Cycling Strategy in 2013. #CycleON is a 20-year vision to have cycling recognized as a respected and valued mode of transportation within Ontario. The Strategy has five aspirational goals for 2033, aimed to support the growth of cycling and to improve the safety of people who cycle across the province (see link section).

Action Plan 2.0 will be the second in a series of action plans, rolled out every five years to implement the Cycling Strategy and help make Ontario a more cycling-friendly province The action items outlined in the proposal are intended to help Ontario address the five Strategic Directions of #CycleON:

1) Design Healthy, Active, and Prosperous Communities 2) Improve Cycling Infrastructure 3) Make Highways and Streets Safer 4) Promote Cycling Awareness and Behavioural Shifts 5) Increase Cycling Tourism Opportunities

Other Information:

The proposal for Action Plan 2.0 was developed by MTO and MTCS. Action items in the proposal compile initiatives from a number of partner ministries and external stakeholders to support the development of #CycleON goals.

MTO and MTCS recently held a Ministers Cycling Advisory Panel with stakeholders across government, as well as from the non-for-profit and private sectors, to discuss the proposal for Action Plan 2.0. Feedback from the Panel will serve as a basis of consultation for Action Plan 2.0.

research has also been cited in provincial strategy documents, Ministerial talking points,

provincial press releases and municipal council motions.
