Active Transportation

Many students choose to walk, ride or roll to school.

Active transportation helps to:

• improve safety by reducing traffic congestion in school zones
• reduce pressure on neighbouring residents and businesses
• promote health and fitness
• reduce the environmental impact of driving

For more information about active transportation and safe, walkable neighbourhoods:

• talk to your school principal
• check out Green Communities Canada's School Travel Planning toolkit to see if it's a good fit for your school community
• learn about safe, walkable neighbourhoods and active school travel events and initiatives at Safe, Healthy, Active People Everywhere (SHAPE)
