2010 FCM Sustainable Communities Awards Winner — Transportation – County of Haliburton: Overview

County of Haliburton, Ontario

Building Capacity for Active Transportation in Haliburton County

Working together and with other community groups, the County of Haliburton and the district health unit ventured into new territory in the summer of 2009 by spearheading a project that applied transportation demand management (TDM) principles in a rural setting. The goal was to improve conditions for commuter cycling in this rural central-eastern Ontario region, and to help more people recognize and choose cycling as a valid way to move from place to place.
