WalkSafe Program
Walking is the original form of transportation and a natural and continued form of transportation globally. In a growing community like Ottawa we walk for recreation, socially or with purpose to get to one destination from another.


Pedestrians are vulnerable: they are 284 times more likely to be killed or injured in a crash than drivers or passengers in vehicles.

Child pedestrian injuries and deaths occur in urban areas. However, when a pedestrian is hit on a rural road, the result is more likely to be fatal because of higher vehicle speeds.
