The Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation (TCAT) was formed in 2006 to give a unified voice to over 43 groups working for a better cycling and pedestrian environment in Toronto. The TCAT plan for active transportation emerged out of consultation with environmental, health and transportation groups from across Toronto.[1][2][3]
