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.
