Active Transportation

Encourages Canadians to choose modes of transportation that require human power, such as walking, cycling, skating or skiing, for a cleaner environment and improved personal health.

Each Canadian makes an average of 2,000 car trips of less than 3 km each year, trips that could easily be made on foot or by bike! By walking, biking, or inline skating these short trips instead of driving, you can achieve significant benefits for your health and the environment. Visit the Go for Green website to learn more.
