The Active Transportation Plan was approved by City Council in 2019 as an update from the original 2008 document. It is intended to chart network improvements, policies and programs that will encourage and support active transportation through 2038 (and beyond). Active transportation includes walking, cycling and other human-powered ways of getting around such as wheelchairs, skateboards, scooters, and others. This plan has been prepared as part of the Thunder Bay Transportation Master Plan (TMP).
It is guided by a vision, principles, and goals.
