Project Summary

It started in 2013 as a Volunteer group of Concerned Citizens. It partnered with the City and TRCA to
host bike events and encouraged Children to Bike to School.
Their successes include:

  • Creation of an Active Transportation Department at the City of Brampton, an Active
    Transportation Advisory Committee and the City’s first Active Transportation Master
    Plan,
  • Creation of a Community Cycling Program that offers bicycle repair training, support,
    and community expertise, in both Brampton and Caledon,
  • Creation of Bike the Creek annual, free, Peel-wide cycling event which attracts more
    than 1,000 participants each year,
  • Completion of Brampton’s first east/west protected bike lane along Vodden, Howden,
    and Hanover Streets along with maps for transport to essential services by bike.
