What is active transportation?
The Government of Canada defines active transportation as using your own power to get from one place to another, for instance, walking, biking, skateboarding, running, cross-country skiing and more. Active transportation is promoted by governments and public health agencies because it benefits people and communities, providing opportunities for physical fitness and social exchanges while also helping to reduce road congestion and reduce green house gases.
