Cycling Plan Study, to visit the display booth and talk to TCC members about bicycle
safety and the City's many services and programs such as the Road & Trail Safety
Ambassadors, CAN-BIKE and Bike Week.
The Road & Trail Safety Ambassadors are a team of safety experts who provide
safety information to all road and trail users - cyclists, pedestrians, in-line skaters, and
motor vehicle drivers. They operate throughout the City from four base locations: north,
south, east and west.
The Toronto Cycling Committee is a citizen body that works with community
groups and City Council to build a social, physical and economic infrastructure that
supports and encourages bicycle use in Toronto.
