What is the Toronto Walking Strategy?
The aim of the Walking Strategy is to build a physical and cultural environment that supports and encourages walking, including vibrant streets, parks, public squares and neighbourhoods where people will choose to walk more often. By envisioning a city where high-quality walking environments are seamlessly integrated with public transit, cycling and other sustainable modes of travel, the Strategy sets out a plan that will produce tangible environmental, health and social benefits for residents and visitors to Toronto.

Implementing the Toronto Walking Strategy will require ongoing consultation between several City Divisions and Agencies. The Public Realm Section within the Transportation Services Division will lead an inter-divisional Walking Strategy Team to coordinate and monitor implementation of the Toronto Walking Strategy.
