About
Bike Walk Roll Week is being led by Green Communities Canada with funding from Infrastructure Canada's National Active Transportation Fund. The event is being coordinated in Ontario and British Columbia with the objective of establishing a travel mode baseline for elementary and middle school students. This is accomplished by a combination of hands-up surveys in classrooms and a supplementary household travel survey for families.
