More City of Toronto programs
ActiveTO
ActiveTO is a City program that helps to ensure people have space to get around while respecting physical
distancing. ActiveTO takes a data driven approach to support essential trips, front-line workers, and
vulnerable road users. ActiveTO locations are based on a number of factors including population density,
equity, access to greenspace, and traffic volumes.

Cycling in Toronto
Cycling is one of the fastest growing transportation modes in Toronto. The City is working to make travel by
bike safer and more inviting. Making it easier for people to choose to cycle helps to ease congestion on our
streets and on transit, creates a cleaner environment, and promotes health. Learn more about Toronto’s
