Walking is the fundamental form of human transportation. No matter which form of transportation you use – biking, driving or taking transit – every trips starts and ends with walking.
For this reason, The City of Calgary is committed to designing and operating a city in which walking is a meaningful transportation choice for social and economic interaction. Our Pedestrian Policy and Needs Report consolidates and aligns with previous Council-approved policies and direction such as the Calgary Transportation Plan, and reflects The City of Calgary's commitment to sustainable transportation.
