Rolling on in manitoba
However you choose to move,
CAA is with you every step of the way
As A MAnitobAn who enjoys outdoor
activities, I count spring as the most
invigorating season. And I’m not alone.
As soon as the snow melts, kids start
walking to school again, couples stroll
with the dog to get coffee, and families
set out on their first bike rides of the
season. Our community comes alive
with the promise of good weather for
active transportation.
Research suggests Canadians increas-
ingly want to use active transportation
to improve their health and reduce their
environmental impact. Consequently,
communities across the country are
focused on building for future uses.
Whether it’s engineering safer streets
or awareness campaigns to promote
safe road sharing, infrastructure
demands more attention than ever.
At CAA Manitoba, we focus on
increasing safety for all road users.
Whether you choose to drive or use
public transit, walk or cycle, we
believe your trip should be safe and
easy. That’s why we regularly share
recommendations with elected officials
at all levels of government. Our
influence is strong because it’s made
up of a chorus of voices: your voices.
Year after year, you call, write, answer
surveys and vote in our Worst Roads
campaign.
You may remember our pre-civic
election poll. In partnership with
Bike Winnipeg, the survey sought
to address concerns on both sides

of the car-bike relationship. The
polling results provided the basis of
our policy recommendations for the
City of Winnipeg. We are committed
to building on our momentum
and working collaboratively with
partners—not only to improve our
infrastructure, but to encourage
everyone to enjoy it to the fullest.
Our annual Worst Roads campaign,
is another great equalizer for infra-
structure. Cyclists and pedestrians,
along with drivers and motorcyclists,
vote for trouble spots on their com-
mute. We invite you to share your
thoughts again this year, so we can
bring your concerns to the government.
Since our founding, CAA Manitoba’s
approach to advocacy has always been
informed by what matters to you.
Gathering opinions across modes of
transport helps us provide a better
picture of the needs and desires in
our community. This collaborative
approach helps our government pin-
point and fix issues.
We’ll continue to work on your
behalf, so your needs and safety are
taken care of, whether you choose to
use four wheels or two.
