If you are like me you feel a bit of guilt on voting day when it comes to drawing the line to mark my vote for trustee. Since the trustee races are not covered as well as the mayoral races or the councillor races you don't have much information to go on. You don't want to randomly pick one, that doesn't seem right. To help voters find out a little more about their trustee candidates the Toronto Coalition on Active Transportation (TCAT) sent them a survey asking them to get their views on Active Transportation, cycling and walking.

In its press release TCAT explains why the trustees were surveyed. “Our education system plays an important role in encouraging Toronto's youth to walk and cycle,” explains TCAT trustee survey coordinator Dylan Reid. “Schools are one of the first and most important destinations for young people when they begin to travel in the city. Through education, promotion, and facilities, schools can help develop safe, sustainable and healthy active transportation habits that will serve Toronto and its citizens well throughout their life.”
