Active Transportation Master Plan

The City of Windsor adopted the Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP) in 2019, symbolizing the City's commitment to develop a visible and connected cycling network that is easily accessible, safe and actively used by all types of cyclists. The Active Transportation Master Plan, Walk Wheel Windsor, provides a vision along with policies and actions to guide the development of a well-connected and attractive active transportation network over the next 20 years that is safe, convenient and user-friendly for people of all ages and abilities and all modes of active transportation. Visit WalkWheelWindsor for the report and updates.
