Walk, bike, roll, transit: Getting around the Vancouver way

Our goal: to help achieve our Climate Emergency Action Plan target that two-thirds of daily trips taken be by active transportation and transit by 2030.

of trips in Vancouver are made by walking + rolling, cycling, or transit.

What's happeningWalk Bike Roll Community Partnership Program

The goal of the Walk Bike Roll Community Program is to increase active travel and support disproportionately impacted communities by partnering with organizations in Vancouver. 

Financial support is available for organizations in Vancouver looking to increase active travel (walking, cycling, or rolling including wheelchair, skateboard, or scooter) within disproportionately impacted communities.

Organizations can implement a new project or link their activities to existing programs provided there is a demonstrated increase in program activity.
