What does it look like when a city treats safe mobility as a fundamental human right?

We are incredibly excited to announce Barkha R. Patel as a keynote speaker for the upcoming Ontario Bike Summit in Toronto.

Barkha is a local government leader and urban planning professional who recently served as the Director of Infrastructure for Jersey City, New Jersey—one of the most densely populated and diverse cities in the U.S. As the city's first Infrastructure Director, she centralized the oversight of all public spaces, leading a team responsible for over $600 million in capital improvements.

Under her leadership, Jersey City achieved a remarkable milestone: a full year with zero traffic fatalities. Her team achieved this through an iterative, fast-paced approach, scaling projects rapidly from pop-up interventions to pilots, and finally to permanent, life-saving infrastructure.

At OBS, Barkha will share how mid-sized communities with limited resources can achieve Vision Zero, and close the gap between policy goals and physical infrastructure, centering the people who have been pushed to the margins of our streets and designing spaces that offer dignity to all.

Don’t miss this vital conversation on how we can build safe, sustainable, and people-centered public spaces.

Steve will be guiding us through our three-day program in Toronto, keeping us connected and engaged as we discuss the future of liveability in our communities.

What started as a focused vision in 2009 has grown into Canada’s premier event for active transportation.

The Ontario Bike Summit was born in Waterloo to bring together the advocates, planners, engineers, and leaders who are working to build a safer, more accessible province for everyone.

The impact of this community over the last 15+ years is clear:
- The first provincial cycling policy in decades -
- Critical legislative wins to protect road users
- Over $125 million in infrastructure funding for Ontario municipalities

🚲 The theme for the 2026 Ontario Bike Summit in Toronto is Inspiring the Future: Building Liveable Cities Through Cycling.

Cycling is about more than just transit; it is a tool for health, community resilience, and economic vibrancy. This year, we are bringing together leaders from across the province to discuss how smart cycling design and infrastructure act as catalysts for urban transformation.

Our program focuses on making Ontario more:

Connected and Accessible: Developing networks for all ages and abilities.

Healthy and Vibrant: Reclaiming public spaces to support local well-being.

Resilient and Future-Ready: Preparing for the next generation of mobility - e-bikes, cargo bikes, e-scooters and autonomous vehicles.

The 2026 Ontario Bike Summit is where we share the best practices that make our communities safer and more connected - and learn from jurisdictions and organizations who are leading the way.
