Active Transportation
Moncton is a vibrant and dynamic city that places a high importance on active living. To that end, the City has developed an Active Transportation plan to steer the community towards a healthier lifestyle. Moncton's well-designed system combined with citywide education encourages everyday use of public transit, trails and active transportation routes. Through the creation of linear parks and greenway trails, the installation of bike racks on all transit buses, and the installation of reserved bike lanes and new signage, the City of Moncton is effectively putting into action their comprehensive Active Transportation Plan.
The City is ensuring the development of the trail and shared lane network through a clearly defined implementation plan and has published a map detailing the various types of routes. View the presentation to Council, which took place on August 16, 2010.
The City of Moncton recently launched an awareness campaign to promote Active Transportation. Also known as AT, this program promotes the adoption of human-powered and environmentally-friendly modes of transportation and their many benefits: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving one's health, getting around on a budget, and more!
