I do not support Bill 212. It will not reduce gridlock or traffic congestion. It offloads the safety risks to cyclists and other active transportation users. Bill 212 stigmatizes, and it discriminates against people who choose these modes of transportation. This Bill leads to removing choices, and favours more costly modes of transportation and, consequently, it is inequitable as it makes it harder to choose more economical forms of transportation and counters governmental claims for making life more affordable for ordinary Ontarians.

Decisions on local transportation issues, active transportation, pedestrian, cycling and other active transportation users' priorities and safety should be kept within the purview of the municipalities. Bill 212 is an overreach by the provincial government.
