On June 27, 2019 TCAT made a submission to the City of Toronto Infrastructure and Environment Committee regarding the Vision Zero 2.0 Road Safety Plan Update. (IE6.8<\/a>).<\/p>\n Our submission described TCAT’s support for Toronto\u2019s Vision Zero Road Safety Plan since it was adopted in 2016 and is a member of the City\u2019s Vision Zero working group. We are grateful for the dedication of City staff and Council alike who are committed to work toward the goal of eliminating serious injury and fatalities on Toronto\u2019s roads. Yet none of us should be satisfied with the pace that we are moving to stop the carnage on our streets.<\/p>\n While we support all of the recommendations put forward by the General Manager, Transportation Services, and the General Manager, Solid Waste Management Services, we highlighted the following in our submission:<\/p>\n Overall, we believe the City\u2019s Vision Zero 2.0 Plan Update and its set of more extensive, more proactive and more targeted initiatives is on the right track and will result in safer streets. We encouraged the Committee to adopt the recommendations within the Plan Update, and for City Council to do everything it can to move forward more quickly and boldly in order to achieve no loss of life as a result of traffic collisions.<\/p>\n Read the full submission\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
