If you want to walk, scoot or bike to school but do not feel safe doing so, tell us why. This data helps us tell #ottcity policy makers the trip you want to take (but can’t).

Where do you want to walk or bike? (But Can't)
Bike Ottawa, School Streets Ottawa, and For our Kids Ottawa/ Gatineau want everyone to have safe ways to actively travel. We will share these issues with city Councillors and the Mayor to show them that more work is needed in our city. So tell us about the difficulties of walking or riding to the places you want to go.
