Be a part of this fun and festive day of encouragement celebrating the most healthy, sustainable form of transportation: walking.

At the 2014 event, nine of the City’s eleven District Supervisors joined Walk SF and over 5,800 San Franciscans to celebrate Walk to Work Day at one of thirteen ‘Hubs’ across the city. For all of San Francisco that morning, pedestrian traffic increased 11% compared to the prior month.
