Non-motorized transportation (NMT) modes such as walking and cycling are essential to the development of sustainable transportation systems. Safe and efficient NMT can benefit Canada very substantially by reducing automobile traffic, reducing energy consumption and emissions, and improving health and fitness. To this effect, local authorities and urban transportation agencies both in Canada and abroad have identified safety and mobility of non-motorized modes as high priorities. Accordingly, significant investments are being allocated to various safety improvement programs directed at NMT.
