Toronto City Council updated its bylaws on December 15, 2021 to opt in to the Province of Ontario pilot program to allow for the use of larger cargo e-bikes weighing more than 120 kilograms on public streets, including bike lanes and cycle tracks.
Professor Matthew Roorda and Dr. Ahmed Lasisi from University of Toronto, and Professor Kevin Gingerich from York University, are developing cargo tricycle initiatives on the U of T and York University campuses as part of the City Logistics in the Urban Economy (CLUE) Project 3.2: Cargo Tricycle Delivery Pilot in University Innovation Zones.
