CONNECTING COMMUNITIES
through innovative transportation solutions
Walking
The MVTMA is very supportive of walking as a commuting option. Walking reduces commuting costs, improves health, and helps the environment!
The MVTMA would like to provide you with some resources to enhance your walking experience to/from work/home, whether you are walking to stay fit, or if you’re taking a leisurely stroll that’s convenient and comfortable for you.

“Increases in walking and other modes of active travel can improve ambient air quality and reduce noise pollution if enough people shift from use of motor vehicles to active travel. Time spent walking and moving can improve muscle strength and flexibility, cardio respiratory fitness, joint health, bone density, sleep quality, it can also help with managing weight, stress, and mental health.” – From AmericaWalks.org
