Earlier this year (in June), the province's Active Transportation Advisory Group released its report: Greater Strides: Taking Action on Active Transportation. The report was put aside by the provincial government until after October's provincial election.

During the election campaign, active transportation promises were made by all political parties.

Post-election, Bike to the Future wrote to Premier Greg Selinger about provincial commitment to active transportation during the next four years. We asked him to name a minister responsible for active transportation and to follow up on the recommendations of the Greater Strides: Taking Action on Active Transportation report. He asked Infrastructure & Transportation Minister Steve Ashton to meet with us.

On December 14, BttF's Provincial Committee Chairperson Charles Feaver, along with committee members Dave Elmore, Jeremy Hull, and Mark Cohoe, met with Minister Ashton, Cliff Evans (the Minister’s Special Adviser), and Dave Duncan (Senior Transportation Planning Consultant).

BttF has written follow-up letters to Minister Ashton and Premier Selinger:
