Green Communities Canada has put forward a 2% solution for Active Transportation that calls for 2% of the federal Gas Tax funds to be dedicated to Active Transportation. The Toronto Active Transportation Coalition supports this proposal and recommends that in Toronto this money go to hiring the staff that are needed to deliver the programs that support Active Transportation.

11. Support the "2% Solution for Active Transportation" put forward by Green Communities Canada which calls for 2% of new gas tax money from the Federal Government to be dedicated to education and promotion regarding Active Transportation.
