Back in May, Burlington resident Karen Cumming was driving home from Port Dover when she had a near-death experience: a car hurtling toward her, head-on, as it passed slow-moving traffic in its own lane. She had seconds to react, and managed to swerve out of harm's way — but only just.
The incident galvanized her to make a difference in the way people behave on the road and the complacency that allows acts of aggressive driving to continue.

According to a report by Move the GTHA, Ontario is facing a $28.8 billion capital funding gap for its proposed Big Move transportation plan.
For those unfamiliar with the Big Move, it's the 25-year regional transportation plan (RTP) for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area that the province proposed in partnership with Metrolinx back in 2008. While the RTP is pretty sprawling, its biggest initiative is the construction of an extensive rapid transit network by 2033. According to the report, the proposed network and any subsequent announcements will total 1,395 km at a capital cost of $68.1 billion in 2014 dollars.
