  • Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020
    Transit Challenge 2020 Ottawa Transit Riders, Free Transit Ottawa, Ecology Ottawa, and Healthy Transportation Coalition Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020 Why the Transit Week Challenge? In 2019, Free Transit Ottawa organized a Transit Week Challenge that took place from Monday, February 4th to February 10th 2019 as a way to bring focus to transit issues within the city. Councillors were invited to rely on transit for one week – to experience the city the way many people in Ottawa already do every day. Participants were encouraged to ride transit to and from work, to shopping, to appointments, and to social events. The Challenge represented the daily reality of Ottawa’s transit dependent residents: students, commuters, low income bus riders, and others without access to vehicles. 2020 The second annual Transit challenge took place from Monday, February 17 to Sunday, February 23, 2020. It was organized by the Ottawa Transit Riders, Healthy Transportation Coalition, Ecology Ottawa, and Free Transit Ottawa. We also reached out to fellow transit advocates in other cities and were delighted that Edmonton decided to conduct a similar challenge. What was the difference between Transit Challenge 2019 and 2020? - Launch of the LRT - Expanded number of people invited (reached out to city managers and OC Transpo executives) - Tracked participation, not just agreement - Two surveys - Report released quickly after end of challenge 2 | Page Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020 Participants Most councillors agreed to participate.

  • Letter to Premier Ford Reopening of Outdoor
    April 28, 2021 Dear Premier Ford, We are writing to you today to urge the Provincial Government to consider re-opening outdoor recreational activities that can be safely enjoyed in a physically distanced manner, including golf, tennis, and pickle ball. We would also support activities such as basketball, and skateboarding in skate parks, as long as good COVID-19 protocols are in place, such as physical distancing and mask wearing. The pandemic has stretched on for over a year now, and the residents of Ottawa are looking for safe ways that they can get outdoors to be physically active, and to maintain their mental health and wellbeing. The Stay-At-Home Order, and the necessary expansion of restrictions required to protect the health of our communities is not in question, and we are equally concerned about the current state of the pandemic, including the variants of concern which are taking a hold in our community. We also appreciate that the province is operating in a very challenging and ever- changing environment. Our concerns revolve around removing the few remaining safe ways that people can be active outdoors, in a physically distanced way. Activities such as golf, tennis, and pickle ball, all lend themselves to physical distancing. When distancing requirements are adhered to, these types of outdoor activities can be a safe way for people to enjoy public spaces during the pandemic. Golf courses in the Ottawa area have also gone to great lengths to introduce additional measures to ensure the safety of their guests. These include requiring golfers to remain in their vehicles until their tee time and removing the rakes from sand pits.

    2021-2022 Forecast Capital Construction - AAC (Long List) The list below shows a selection of capital construction projects for 2021/2022 in which the City of Ottawa Accessibility Design Standards will be applied to the greatest extent possible. Many of these projects contain exterior paths of travel for which the potention provision and placement of a rest area will be decided in the upcoming design phase of the project based on numerous factors, such as the results of the consultation, available space, property requirements, location of transit stops, and volume of pedestrian traffic. If a rest area is to be provided on an individual project, its design would follow the Accessibility Design Standards. Many of the projects listed have existing on-street parking areas which are available to Accessible Parking Permit holders. Any adjustments to those areas would be determined during the upcoming design phase of the project.
