Walk Toronto has written to Ontario Premier Doug Ford in support of Bill 54, Protecting Vulnerable Roads Users Act. The objective of
this bill is to protect all forms of road users by amending the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) to include added meaningful penalties where a vulnerable road user has been seriously injured or killed.
The letter was written by Walk Toronto steering committee member Daniella Levy-Pinto. ” I am totally blind,” she writes, “and there is a limit to what I can do to stay safe while crossing the street – my safety, and the safety of others, greatly depends on drivers following the rules and paying attention to vulnerable road users, including children, seniors, and people with disabilities.”
