Toronto Cycling Think & Do Tank

The Cycling Think & Do Tank is a multidisciplinary, multi-sector research project focused on increasing cycling as a primary transportation choice. Funded by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Partnership Development grant, we are:
  • mapping cycling patterns
  • exploring the economic benefits of cycling for transportation
  • bringing together literature from both environmental psychology and active transportation 
  • and developing an integrated suite of tools for increasing cycle use in daily transport

With this initiative, Principal Investigator Beth Savan has built a coalition of expert practitioners and academics to address an important gap in knowledge about building more sustainable cities: how experience from the behavioural change field (applied extensively to building occupants) can be transferred to the field of active transportation.
