Welcome
We are an interdisciplinary team of university researchers, city partners, and national organizations looking to catalyze the implementation of sustainable transportation interventions to support health, mobility, and equity outcomes in jurisdictions across Canada and Australia. Specifically, our research is focussed on All Ages and Abilities bicycle networks and Speed Management interventions.
Mission & Vision
Mission
To understand the key implementation factors for the scaling up and scaling out of sustainable transportation interventions across different municipal contexts, to support health, mobility, and equity goals.
Vision
To accelerate a dramatic increase in the number and diversity of people using sustainable transportation in Canada and Australia.
About
Implementation Science and Healthy Cities
Implementation science, used primarily in health care interventions, is focused on understanding how interventions or policies come about, how they can be translated to new contexts or scales, and who benefits. Applying and advancing implementation science in the realm of healthy cities offers an opportunity to support cities as they implement sustainable transportation interventions.

Toward Inclusive Cycling Infrastructure; Disabling Problems and Creative Solutions
On March 5, we were treated to an interesting webinar from Prof Ron Buliung of the University of Toronto. Dr Buliung’s presentation shared case studies to explore instances where the design of urban infrastructure produces barriers and risky environments for people...
