MPI's Safer Roads public consultation & survey

Manitoba Public Insurance has begun public consultations on the role it should play as a public auto insurer in promoting and ensuring road safety. BttF thinks MPI has an important role to play in improving road safety for cyclists.

There is a survey on MPI's website that asks for feedback. Some questions ask whether MPI should be investing in safe cycling. We ask that you fill out the survey.
