Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In completing this report on Cycling in Ontario I have gathered information from specific jurisdictions across Ontario to find out how cycling is incorporated into municipalities. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate what other communities are doing in relation to cycle-supportive activities so as to gain contextual insight for Haliburton County. What I have found is that about 50% of municipalities do have a cycling emphasis in some way, but that Haliburton County has been a pioneer in terms of extensive cycling policy implementation and promotion in rural Central Ontario. In the proceeding document, I have summarized my findings, excluding municipalities that do not support cycling in any way. With the help of my host from the Haliburton Highlands Cycling Coalition, I have created three primary questions that would provide the most useful information to other cycling planners and advocates in Ontario. In doing so, much of the material relating to the secondary questions will be responded to. Both sets of questions are outlined on the following page. All municipal information has been categorized according to County, with questions A, B and C answered wherever applicable. A brief commentary about the research process and recommendations regarding particularly useful strategies and resources will follow.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Active transportation (AT) is a mode of transportation that is propelled by human power and does not include motorized vehicles. The leading organization that strives to develop and promote AT initiatives for Haliburton County is called the Communities in Action Committee (CIA). The goal of CIA is to raise physical activity levels through active transportation promotion & planning in rural towns such as Haliburton and Minden Ontario. The CIA Committee has done most of its work in these towns for which employment is highly seasonal. The seasonality of jobs and population size affects residents, some of which may be unable to attain full time employment, improvements to AT would reduce car use and thus the cost of living. Both towns are also located in a rural area, with the nearest metropolis, Toronto, about two and half hours, 200km, away and the nearest City, Peterborough, about 90 minutes away. The small size and rural nature make them perfect for implementing quick progressive changes. The goal of this paper is to examine the concept of AT in rural settings and investigate ways to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of AT initiatives. To do this, the tools and methods that can measure changes in participant use of active transportation will be explored through a literature review. Following this, an analysis of results from a survey developed by the CIA (distributed in October and November 2011) will be conducted with interpretations and compared to the results of a similar survey carried out in 2007. Finally, future improvements to the active transportation environment will be provided based on the findings from the recent survey.
