The following is the announcement from the TCAT website. Go and check out how the candidates for Mayor and Council responded to the survey.

The responses to the Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation (TCAT) Active Transportation survey are now on line on TCAT's website at www.TorontoCAT.ca Toronto voters can now see where candidates for Councillor and Mayor stand on taking concrete steps to making Toronto a city where cycling and walking are safe and enjoyable; and on ensuring Active Transportation plays the role it should in Toronto's Transportation system. Active Transportation (cycling and walking) is an integral part of the urban transportation network, and the most sustainable, affordable and healthy form of transportation.

The TCAT Active Transportation survey consists of 18 questions that ask candidates to let Toronto voters know where they stand on key initiatives that the next city council will need to support in order to improve active transportation in Toronto. The survey also provides a ward-by-ward breakdown of key active transportation projects and asks candidates if they will act as champions for the projects in their wards.

As Torontonians consider which candidates that they will vote for on November 13th, 2006 TCAT encourages them to consider the candidate's position on the measures proposed in the TCAT Plan to BUILD a continuous cycling and pedestrian network, INTEGRATE cycling and pedestrian issues into city planning, PROMOTE walking and cycling as safe transportation, PROTECT vulnerable road users through better policy and design, and LEAD by example as a cycling, walking city.

The Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation (TCAT) was formed to give a unified voice to the many groups working for a better cycling and pedestrian environment in Toronto. The TCAT plan for active transportation emerged out of consultation with environmental, health and transportation groups from across Toronto.

We have made every effort to contact all candidates by gathering contact info from publicly available sources. Thanks to Dave Meslin of whorunsthistown.to for his assistance in this endeavour. In spite of this there are still some candidates for whom we don't have contact information and were unable to contact, those are indicated on the site. If you are a candidate who has not received a survey please contact us at info@torontocat.ca. Not all candidates have returned the survey. Those are also indicated. TCAT encourages all candidates to complete the survey and return it to be posted so voters can make an informed decision on election day.
