National Walk to Work Day – Friday 6 September

National Walk to Work Day 2024 will take place on Friday, 6 September. Plan your walk to work and use public transport options near you.

Why Participate?

Walking regularly contributes to better physical and mental health. It can help our mood and mental focus, reduce cholesterol levels, and improve overall fitness. It also promotes social interaction and enhances workplace morale.

By walking and using public transport, you help reduce reliance on private vehicles, ease traffic congestion, and lower vehicle emissions. This contributes to a cleaner, healthier environment.

How to Get Involved:

  • Walk and use public transport
    If you can’t walk the entire way, combine walking with public transport. Get off a few stops early or park your car further from your destination to increase your walking time.
     
  • Make walking part of your day
    Incorporate walking into your commute, take a stroll during your lunch break, and choose stairs over escalators or lifts.
     
  • Encourage regular movement
    If you work at a desk, make a habit of walking around periodically. If you’re working from home, take regular breaks for short walks.

Plan your walk to work with Trip Planner and remember to cross safely. Pedestrian crossings are the safest way to cross the road. If there isn't one close by, you might be crossing at a risky spot. So when you're crossing the road, be aware and cross with care.
