Walking and Biking Tips
|
Walking and
bicycling are clean, healthy and fun ways to travel and exercise. That’s why the
San Antonio-Bexar County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and our
transportation partners are celebrating 14 years of walking and bicycling with
our "Walk & Roll" Fest in May 2010. Exact location and date coming soon. And
stay tuned for the Challenges coming later in the year.
The
MPO encourages
the use of healthy transportation such as bicycling, walking, car/vanpooling,
and busing.
Show your support of safe and healthy cycling in the San Antonio region
by supporting the
Bicycle Mobility Advisory Committee
and the
Pedestrian Mobility Advisory Committee
by participating in
the Walk & Roll events.
Other healthy activities are included on
this Walk & Roll
website for your information. To submit your organization's event for
inclusion on our website, please
