Children's Mobility, Health and Happiness: a Canadian School Travel Planning Model is a two-year project funded through the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer’s CLASP initiative and the Public Health Agency of Canada. This project will expand STP across Canada, amplify our work with the University of Toronto on links between STP and the built environment, and introduce and apply Cape Breton University’s ground-breaking research into the links between active transportation, sustainable happiness, education and health. In addition, the 2.5-year Stepping It Up pilot project in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area is now underway. The project is centrally coordinated by Metrolinx and is supported by Transport Canada’s ecoMOBILITY program. By the project's end, school travel planning will be introduced by City of Hamilton and Region of Peel staff at up to 30 local elementary schools, with expertise and support from Green Communities Canada and the University of Toronto.
