Walking is the most fundamental form of transportation. Everyone is a pedestrian at some point in their day. It's how transit passengers reach their destination, how people driving get from the curb to the front door, and those riding a bike get from the bike rack to their end point.
Every trip begins and ends on foot – whether it’s walking to the bus stop, locating a car share vehicle, or taking a mobility scooter to go get a coffee. The City is already one of the most pedestrian friendly communities in the region, and we are working to make walking easier, safer, and more accessible.
Walking is a great way to get around and is one of the best ways to get and stay physically active. It's accessible and inexpensive, all you need is a good pair of shoes. Walking also helps to create more livable communities, reduce vehicle-related air pollution and reduce traffic congestion.

The Walk30 Challenge is a friendly local competition that encourages and inspires people to walk more, improve overall wellness, strengthen community connections, and rethink how we get around. The challenge takes place annually each spring.
The goal is for participants to walk every day for 5 weeks and track their progress, to see which municipality can walk the most total minutes and win awesome prizes from local businesses. You can participate either as an individual or as a team.
