Walk to Work Day (WTWD) encourages regular walking to improve health and contribute to a cleaner environment.
This year, WTWD is challenging Australians and their employers to register as WTWD Corporate Ambassadors;
- To promote regular walking as a healthy activity (better physical, mental & social health);
- To reduce reliance on the private motor vehicle (reduce car dependency);
- To promote and improve the use of public transport (less traffic); and
- To improve air quality by reducing unnecessary vehicle emissions (help tackle climate change and reduce global warming).
Individuals can also pledge their willingness to walk by registering as a Walking Class Hero.
