Toronto Pedestrian Charter

Six Principles

Accessibility:

Walking is a free and direct means of accessing local goods, services, community amenities and public transit.

Equity:

Walking is the only mode of travel that is universally affordable, and allows children and youth, and people with specific medical conditions to travel independently.

Health and Well-being:

Walking is a proven method of promoting personal health and well-being.

Environmental Sustainability:

Walking relies on human power and has negligible environmental impact.

Personal and Community Safety:

An environment in which people feel safe and comfortable walking increases community safety for all.

Community Cohesion and Vitality:

A pedestrian-friendly environment encourages and facilitates social interaction and local economic vitality.
