In addition to being informed by these foremost Canadian organizations, this resource benefits from the deep expertise of\u00a0reputable\u00a0cycling equity advocates such as Tamika\u00a0Butler, Anthony Taylor,\u00a0Christopher McGarrell and others\u00a0residing in Canada and the U.S.\u00a0In keeping with Jay Pitter Placemaking&#8217;s award-winning approach<strong>\u2014<\/strong>both\u00a0academic and professional practice<strong>\u2014<\/strong>the Toolkit is evidence-based and\u00a0contains\u00a0key Practice principles, frameworks, research demonstrating the dimensions of inequity, and precedents reflecting emerging equitable practices and policies.\u00a0It also contains numerous reflection questions with form-fillable boxes, checklists and real-world recommendations to\u00a0help readers integrate their background knowledge and specific context with new learnings. Ultimately, the Cycling Equity Toolkit\u00a0has been developed to prompt personal reflection, professional development and organizational transformation.<\/p>\n<p>The Cycling Equity Toolkit is a comprehensive resource designed to address the pressing issue of mobility equity and environmental sustainability. How we move within our communities matters as much as where we are headed. Unfortunately, historical structural inequities, such as car-centric infrastructure and privileged urban geographies, have limited the movement of equity-deserving individuals and groups, depriving them of genuine choice, joy, and freedom.<\/p>\n<p>This toolkit aims to promote human-centred modes of movement, such as walking, rolling, skipping, and cycling, which have long been overshadowed by automobile-focused culture. Advocates in mobility equity and environmental movements have made significant strides in challenging this culture, with a growing number of racialized activists and equity-deserving groups demanding intersectional advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>The toolkit emerges from a year-long engagement process with Canadian cycling organizations, identifying core areas for capacity-building and equitable principles. Rooted in evidence-based practices, the toolkit offers cycling equity frameworks, precedents, and hands-on engagement prompts to facilitate actionable change.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to make cycling an exhilarating, sustainable experience accessible to a diverse group of people while fostering equitable approaches in cycling and broader mobility sectors. This toolkit will add momentum in integrating equitable practices across all aspects of human-centred mobility advocacy and inspires us to build a future where movement is inclusive, joyful, and sustainable for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22729,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tcat.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource\/22733"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tcat.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tcat.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/resource"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tcat.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource\/22733\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22741,"href":"https:\/\/tcat.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource\/22733\/revisions\/22741"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tcat.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tcat.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
