Planning for Active Transportation in Woolwich

As of July 2023, this project is complete. The final plan is available here: Township of Woolwich Active Transportation Master Plan.

What is Active Transportation?

Active transportation (AT) is any mode of transportation that involves human-power to get from one place to another. It includes walking, cycling or rolling (in-line skating, skateboarding or using a wheelchair).

What are the Benefits of Active Transportation?

Using AT has many benefits for your physical and mental health. Using AT also reduces traffic on our roads, reduces emissions and improves our air quality. A safe and well-connected AT network provides access to those who do not drive.

What is the Active Transportation Master Plan?

The Township of Woolwich has developed an Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP). The plan establishes a vision for active transportation in Woolwich to the year 2051 that:

• Promotes the development of a well-connected and safe active transportation network; and
• Supports active transportation as an affordable and convenient transportation mode for different trip purposes and users of various abilities and ages.

How Can I Get Involved?

Community engagement was critical to the success of this study. Members of the public and key internal stakeholders were involved in meaningful two-way discussions throughout the plan development process.

This project was funded in part by the Government of Canada.
