Master Plan

Active transportation is all human-powered forms of travel, such as walking, cycling, in-line skating, skateboarding, skiing, canoeing, and more. It can also be combined with other modes, such as public transit.

What are the Benefits of Active Transportation?

• Environmental – active transportation can improve air quality and water quality while reducing green house gas emissions and global climate change. Less roadways and parking lots saves valuable green space
• Economic – active transportation saves money on parking, fuel and health care costs
• Social– active transportation increases social interactions, provides calmer, safer streets and reduces crime, traffic noise and congestion
