Pathways for People: Active Transportation Framework
Simply put, active transportation (AT) is any human-powered, non-motorized travel. The term was first coined in 1994 and has grown in popularity ever since. Initially, AT focused on alternatives to cars for short trips. Today, the concept is much broader and appeals to a larger audience.
The Department of Health and Wellness has prepared a Framework paper to showcase our province’s success stories in the arena of Active Transportation. Here you'll find ways we can join together and meet the growing needs of our communities. Click here for more information:
