The health of people is determined by the health of the city they live in. We are calling on candidates seeking election in Toronto’s 2023 mayoral election to commit to making our city streets safer for people of all ages and abilities by taking the 10 priority actions listed below:

  1. Building Complete Streets across every ward in Toronto
  2. Establishing and Implementing a Vision Zero Safety Checklist
  3. Streamlining the traffic calming process equitably across the city
  4. Reducing traffic speed on our streets to 30 km/h and 40 km/h on all arterial roads city-wide
  5. Improving the safety and accessibility for people walking and using mobility devices
  6. Accelerating the Cycling Network Plan to provide safe and connected bike lanes in every ward
  7. Funding & supporting Active School Travel programs to ensure young people can safely walk and bike to school
  8. Investing in equitable methods to manage traffic enforcement by reallocating resources away from on-the-ground police enforcement
  9. Reallocating road space to provide regular and recurring car-free spaces for active transportation
  10. Supporting the multi-modal future of Toronto’s transportation system

We are an alliance of groups that share a vision for a brighter future that hinges on making our communities safer and more economically sustainable for people across the city.
