INTRODUCTION
The Kitchener Cycling Advisory Committee' (KCAC) developed this evaluative tool in 2014 in response to
recommendations in the City of Kitchener's Cycling Master Plan (CMP)2. Specifically, it was recommended
that the City implement a performance monitoring process and the KCAC develop an independent report
card tool to track progress on the CMP's goals and outcomes.
The Report Card questionnaire tool (Appendix A)was designed to provide an easy, objective and consistent
way to assess Kitchener's cycling conditions and efforts to promote cycling in the community.The League of
American Bicyclists and Share the Road Cycling Coalition have developed self-assessment tools. Other cities
such as Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York, and Copenhagen have also developed similar report card style
tools with much success.
The Report Card graded Kitchener's cycling programs, practices, and
infrastructure from A(best)to F (worst). Scores were calculated in five
areas—Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, and , ,
Evaluation/Planning'—and then assigned a corresponding letter
The city's ultimate

How Kitchener received these grades is discussed as part of this report along with recommendations for
achieving higher scores in future.
In short,we found that key areas in our cycling policies, programs and infrastructure are lagging. By
following through with the recommendations contained in this report, Kitchener should see noticeable
improvement in ridership and public support from the "interested but concerned" majority, who would
cycle if road conditions were safer.

METHODOLOGY
The Kitchener Cycling Advisory Committee (KCAC) developed a Report Card Questionnaire consisting of 29
multiple-choice questions.The questions were divided into five areas: Engineering, Education,
Encouragement, Enforcement, and Evaluation/Planning.The questionnaire is presented in full in Appendix A.
The idea of a self-assessment tool came from the League of American Bicyclists' Bicycle Friendly America
Program4. Assessment areas were derived from Share the Road Cycling Coalition's Bicycle Friendly
Communities areas.
The League of American Bicyclists found "gold-level communities", such as Portland, San Francisco,
Minneapolis, and Palo Alto,to have some of the best cycling infrastructure and programs in the United
States. Share the Road Cycling Coalition awarded Ottawa a Gold Medal for its cycling efforts in 2014.
Questions were developed over two years by KCAC's Planning, Evaluation and Governance Subcommittee.
The multiple-choice format allows staff to answer questions without having detailed quantitative numbers
on hand.
Answers received a number score corresponding to a letter grade,with zero being the lowest (grade F) and
four being the highest(grade A) result.
Mean Section Scores were calculated by averaging the scores for the individual questions and then rounding
to the nearest 0.5.
The Total Report Card Score was calculated by averaging the Mean Section Scores,that is, by adding the
mean section scores together and dividing by five. Again, the result was rounded to the nearest 0.5 result
and assigned a letter grade.5

ENGINEERING
� r
WE NEED TO DO MORE.
The most visible and perhaps most tangible evidence of a great place for
cycling is the presence of infrastructure that welcomes and supports
it. Survey after survey shows that the physical environment is a key � ���°�
determinant in whether people will get on a bike and ride.
Kitchener currently achieves a grade of C for Engineering. Kitchener is achieving the minimum requirements
to ensure a cycling friendly community.
Kitchener has laid a solid foundation with a dedicated cycling infrastructure plan as a stand-alone
component in the capital budget (A, Q.1), but has not tracked per capita spending (F, Q.10) until now.This
recently reported level of funding is $2.57 per capita (Appendix B), far below the$48 per capita spent
annually by the Netherland s6, a gold-level comparator.To put this into context, Waterloo Region's Master
Transportation Plan calls for spending$330 per capita per year for five years'.
Kitchener has succeeded in installing multiple bikeway types, including pathways,trails and connected
networks (B, Q.3).To date,the City has implemented less than 25%of the connected bikeway network as
outlined in Kitchener's CMPB, for which they receive a C (Q.2).
Kitchener maintains five kilometers of multi-use pathways and trails during the leaf-collection periods and in
winter, but zero kilometers of on-street bikeways under the CMP (B, Q.4). Kitchener currently has 52.8 km of
CMP bikeways and 38.3 km of trails and pathways. Year-round maintenance occurs on less than 25%of the
network(D, Q.7).
Kitchener does support infrastructure development through by-laws requiring developers to provide end-of-
trip facilities, such as bike parking (A, Q.5).The city has also installed colourful artistic bike racks and fix-it
stations in the downtown core area. Incentives for providing end-of-trip facilities, however, could be added
for private, commercial and public facilities (F, Q.6).
Kitchener and Waterloo Region have shown leadership by installing end-of-trip facilities at high profile public
facilities like City Hall and Grand River Transit's central Charles Street Station, and maintaining a 100%
cycling friendly transit system.
The City considers the needs of cyclists at intersections, but has implemented physical treatments, like bike
boxes and accessible push buttons, at less than 25%of intersections within the cycling network(D, Q.9). As
55% of traffic collisions involving cyclists9 occur at intersections, installing intersection treatments should
flagged as a priority.

KEYS FOR KITCHENER TO ACHIEVE A HIGHER GRADE IN THE ENGINEERING AREA INCLUDE THE
FOLLOWING:
Continue to implement the bikeway network as outlined in the 2010 CMP, implementing at least 80 km or
50% of the recommended network10 over the next four years. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener]
Ensure that the CMP on-street bikeway network, in addition to trails, is accessible year round with a
program that focuses on the clearing and maintaining pathways from snow buildup, gates and other
impeding obstacles. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener]
Develop incentives for building end-of-trip facilities such as lockers, bike lockers, showers and change rooms
at significant public buildings like Kitchener Public Library branches City Hall, and community centres.
Incentives and by-laws working hand-in-hand should close gaps and result in significant improvements.
[Responsibility: City of Kitchener and Region of Waterloo]
Intersections within the cycling network need to be adapted to handling a third stream of traffic, namely
cyclists. Bike boxes, two-stage left turns, cyclist triggered traffic signals, and advanced stop bars, among
other treatments, need to be added to at least 50%of signalized intersections in the CMP network area.
[Responsibility: Region of Waterloo with support from City of Kitchener]

EDUCATION
WERE A GROWING CYCLING COMMUNITY. 'h
Education is crucial to instructing our cyclist and motorists on how to
share the road and ensure that proper and safe cycling skills are
available to all citizens
Kitchener scored a C for this section of the report card survey. � ���°�
In the survey's Education component, we see the difference between a growing community and established
communities. Established bike communities do not have to spend extensive funding on education whereas
growing communities like Kitchener must make sure that education is available through a variety of
programs.
Most of Kitchener's education efforts focus on advertising campaigns (B, Q.12), education materials and
maps as well as events, for which the City scores an A(Q.11).
Kitchener educates professional drivers with printed resource materials (B, Q.12).The city also provides
materials for citizens, communities and other organizations to organize their own bike training and safe
cycling behaviour events.

A pilot program with certain Kitchener and Waterloo District schools is attempting to educate students on
safe cycling. That said, effective collaboration and partnering with the schools needs to be explored further,
including creating a committee that could jointly deliver safety programs"(D, Q.14).
61 P a g
8 - 9
It is important to note that through this survey, safe cycling education does not happen organically or
naturally. Educating not only the cyclist but the motorist as well will create a safer, less stressful
transportation environment for both groups.
Cities in Denmark and the Netherlands are great examples of where cycling is an integral part of everyday
transportation and where there is little additional need to promote cycling or educate the riders or drivers12.
Their large numbers of riders and high visibility of the infrastructure provide a positive incentive for
residents to choose cycling as their main mode of transportation.
Nevertheless, Copenhagen encourages cycling together as a family, which gives parents an opportunity to
teach children the rules of the road and safe cycling13.The Netherlands focuses their cycling educational
programs on new immigrants, many of whom arrive without a driver's license.
KEYS FOR KITCHENER TO ACHIEVE A HIGHER GRADE IN THE EDUCATION AREA INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
Encourage the all Waterloo Regional school boards (1)to develop a safe cycling curriculum and incorporate
it within current driver education classes so that students learn how to be responsible drivers and cyclists
and pedestrians; and (2) to offer bike repair classes in addition to car repair classes for high school students.
[Responsibility: Ontario Ministry of Education and local school boards]
Expand programs like Cycling into the Future Campaign to more students and include target groups such as
women and new immigrants among students' parents. [Responsibility: Other]
Develop and prioritize innovative driver education programs for current adult drivers. Continuing driver
education is critical to the safety of cyclists, pedestrians and drivers. [Responsibility: Ontario Ministry of
Transportation]

ENCOURAGEMENT ....
WERE ACTIVELY ENCOURAGING THE COMMUNITY.
Kitchener relies heavily on social media outreach to promote cycling
activities.Their success in this area earned the City an A(Q.16).
From the City's Report Card response data it is clear that Kitchener is
actively encouraging cycling in the community.The City has a unique
Twitter hashtag to gather conversation around cycling while also holding `'
annual events to encourage cycling participation (Appendix B).
Kitchener's business community supports cycling initiatives through the workplace (B, Q.17) and the City
published the second edition of its bike map this summer 14(C, Q.19). Rental facilities and bike share
programs15(D, Q.18), key cycling growth initiatives,were also established in Kitchener this year.
In addition to the traditional promotional programs, the City has done an excellent job in visually promoting
cycling by installing colourful artistic bike racks and fix-it stations throughout the downtown core area (see
Engineering, A, Q.5).

ENFORCEMENT
ENFORCEMENT IS KEY TO ACHIEVING RIDERSHIP GOALS.
Traffic laws and other rules of the road ensure the safety and fair
treatment of all road users, including cyclists. But for these laws to
work, it is critical that these rules are applied and enforced equitably.
Kitchener currently earns a C- in the Enforcement category.This grade reflects � ���°�
the Waterloo Regional Police Service's (WRPS) limited focus on cycling and current
lack of programs.
On the positive side, the WRPS has officers on bicycles in the community.This past year, the WRPS
participated in the Thumbs Up safe cycling campaign (B, Q.21).
While the WRPS does participate in enacting and enforcing Kitchener cycling by-laws, it does not train its
officers with respect to enforcing cycling-related provisions under the Ontario Traffic Act.The WRPS also
does not receive specialized enforcement training by nationally or internationally recognized groups such as
Share the Road Cycling Coalition or the League of American Bicyclists. (C, Q.23).
Bicycle theft is a growing concern within Kitchener,yet the WRPS has no serial number registration, theft
deterrence strategies or recovery programs in place (F, Q.22).
KEYS FOR KITCHENER TO ACHIEVE A HIGHER GRADE IN THE ENFORCEMENT AREA INCLUDE THE
FOLLOWING:
Implement a serial number registry and stolen bike return program in partnership with the City.
[Responsibility: Waterloo Regional Police Service, the City of Kitchener and Other]
Appoint a dedicated officer for cycling related issues, and assign this officer to actively participate on the
Kitchener Cycling and Trails Advisory Committee (KCTAC) and act as a liaison for other City and Regional
cycling initiatives. [Responsibility:Waterloo Regional Police Service]
Offer a basic voluntary training program to officers on cycling safety and traffic laws. Officers should be
encouraged to ticket both cyclists and motorists for Ontario Highway Traffic Act and municipal by-law
violations in certain sections like the downtown core where cycling infrastructure has been installed.
[Responsibility: Waterloo Regional Police Service]

EVALUATION AND PLANNING
WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DO MORE.
Kitchener has developed a Cycling Master Plan (13,(B, Q.24) and
established the Kitchener Cycling Advisory Committee(B, Q.25).The
City dedicates 0.665 FTE of annual staff time to bicycle infrastructure
planning and policy development (D, Q.27). `'
Kitchener's cycling initiatives have been reviewed by an external organization within
the past two years and have shown measurable improvement (C, Q.28)17, but Kitchener has not published
statistics on the impact of local cycling initiatives (F, Q.26). An online survey for cycling improvements was
conducted this past summer, but it did not include questions about the public's perception of cycling safety
(F, Q.29).
KEYS FOR KITCHENER TO ACHIEVE A HIGHER GRADE IN THE EVALUATION AND PLANNING AREA INCLUDE
THE FOLLOWING:
The City of Kitchener should increase the number of full-time staff dedicated to cycling initiatives, planning
and policy development. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener]
In addition to the target of doubling the number of cycling trips every three to five years,the City should
track ridership by holding regular cycling counts and gathering commuter data from businesses already
participating in cycling initiatives. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener]
Kitchener needs to continue holding regular online surveys and publishing the data. Question(s) about
perceptions of safety should be added to the online survey. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener]

OVERALL GRADE AND FUTURE ACTION
KITCHENER RECEIVED AN OVERALL GRADE OF C.
Kitchener has earned this score with concerted effort in Education and
Encouragement.We hope to see the City of Kitchener improve its
cycling initiatives in the areas of Engineering, Enforcement, and '
Evaluation and Planning.
In particular, the City needs to focus on implementing the CMP. Kitchener could easily
increase its score by a full letter grade by following through with the key recommendations as summarized
in Appendix C.
The KCTAC intends to complete the evaluation every two years, corresponding to the terms of office of the
KCTAC members. Accordingly, the next report card will be prepared and presented to Council in late 2016.
For the next version of the Report Card,we intend to improve the question wording to maintain an objective
and consistent rating over time.
We would also like to include comparative quantitative statistics for the other Ontario cities in the next
Report Card. Future comparative statistics could include per capita spending, kilometers of cycling
infrastructure, rates of cycling ridership, and perceptions of safety.
The Report Card evaluative tool (Appendix A) was developed by Peter Walberg, Levi Oakey and Tyson
Reiser, members of the KCTAC's Planning, Evaluation and Governance subcommittee.These committee
members along with Ward 4 Councillor Yvonne Fernandes, KCTAC Chair Peter Dedes and committee
member Victoria Van Cappellen analyzed the responses and generated the final report.
The KCTAC sincerely acknowledges the City of Kitchener staff members who completed the Report Card
survey and compiled the supporting data provided in Appendix B. Specifically,Josh Joseph (Transportation
Demand Coordinator), Lauren Nelson (Transportation and Planning Fall Co-op),Justin Readman
(Transportation and Planning Director), Ken Carmichael, (Transportation Services),Justin Thibert(Finance &
Corporate Services), Mark Parris (Operations Division),James LaPointe (Region of Waterloo), and the
Waterloo Regional Police Service. "

Appendix C- Summary of key Report Card recommendations
Engineering:
• Continue to implement the bikeway network as outlined in the 2010 CMP,
implementing at least 80 km or 50% of the recommended network over the
next four years. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener]
• Ensure that the CMP on-street bikeway network, in addition to trails, is
accessible year round with a program that focuses on the clearing and
maintaining pathways from snow buildup, gates and other impeding
obstacles. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener]
• Develop incentives for building end-of-trip facilities such as lockers,bike
lockers, showers and change rooms at significant public buildings like
Kitchener Public Library branches, City Hall and community centres.
Incentives and by-laws working hand-in-hand should close gaps and result in
significant improvements. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener and Region of
Waterloo]
• Intersections within the cycling network need to be adapted to handling a
third stream of traffic, namely cyclists. Bike boxes,two-stage left turns,
cyclist triggered traffic signals, and advanced stop bars, among other
treatments, need to be added to at least 50% of signalized intersections in
the CMP network area. [Responsibility: Region of Waterloo with support
from City of Kitchener]
Education:
• Encourage the all Waterloo Regional school boards (1) to develop a safe
cycling curriculum and incorporate it within current driver education classes
so that students learn how to be responsible drivers and cyclists and
pedestrians; and (2) to offer bike repair classes in addition to car repair
classes for high school students. [Responsibility: Ontario Ministry of
Education and local school boards]
• Expand programs like Cycling into the Future Campaign to more students
and include target groups such as women and new immigrants among
students' parents. [Responsibility: Other]
• Develop and prioritize innovative driver education programs for current
adult drivers. Continuing driver education is critical to the safety of cyclists,
pedestrians and drivers. [Responsibility: Ontario Ministry of Transportation]
B - 56
Encouragement:
• Expand bike fix-it stations to provide assistance to residents throughout the
City. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener]
• Encourage bike sharing programs through additional funding.
[Responsibility: City of Kitchener and Region of Waterloo]
• Establish an "earn-a-bike" or other recognition program for youth exhibiting
cycling leadership. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener and Other]
Enforcement:
• Implement a serial number registry and stolen bike return program in
partnership with the City. [Responsibility: Waterloo Regional Police Service,
the City of Kitchener and Other]
• Appoint a dedicated officer for cycling related issues, and assign this officer
to actively participate on the Kitchener Cycling and Trails Advisory
Committee (KCTAC) and act as a liaison for other City and Regional cycling
initiatives. [Responsibility: Waterloo Regional Police Service]
• Offer a basic voluntary training program to officers on cycling safety and
traffic laws. Officers should be encouraged to ticket both cyclists and
motorists for Ontario Highway Traffic Act and municipal by-law violations in
certain sections like the downtown core where cycling infrastructure has
been installed. [Responsibility: Waterloo Regional Police Service]
Evaluation and Planning:
• The City of Kitchener should increase the number of full-time staff dedicated
to cycling initiatives, planning and policy development. [Responsibility: City
of Kitchener]
• In addition to the target of doubling the number of cycling trips every three
to five years,the City should track ridership by holding regular cycling counts
and gathering commuter data from businesses already participating in
cycling initiatives. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener]
• Kitchener needs to continue holding regular online surveys and publishing
the data. Question(s) about perceptions of safety should be added to the
online survey. [Responsibility: City of Kitchener]
