Catalogue Of Canadian Community Initiatives Addressing Transport Poverty

The Catalogue of Canadian Community Initiatives Addressing Transport Poverty is a project of the Mobilizing Justice partnership and The Centre for Active Transportation (TCAT). It documents and describes community initiatives across Canada that are addressing transport poverty and increasing modal choices. The catalogue was first released in 2021, with updates in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Access the catalogue and reports (2021, 2022, 2024).  

In 2023, with an update in 2024, an interactive map was created providing a visual overview of over 300 community initiatives contained within the catalogue. It provides a way for advocates, academics, and practitioners alike to explore and learn about the wide range of inspiring ways that communities support transport equity. We hope that it will be useful for better understanding the transportation barriers and adaptive practices being undertaken across Canada and to ultimately inform the development of evidence-based policy recommendations to advance transport equity.

The initiatives in the catalogue were gathered from websites, social media, and personal networks. While every effort was made to capture and map as many initiatives as possible, some were likely missed and we aim to update regularly. Questions, suggestions, or additions?
