Active transportation relates to human-powered forms of commuting to work, school, recreation, socializing or running errands. It can take many forms and is continually evolving as new technologies emerge. It includes:
- Walking
- Cycling
- Rolling (skateboarding, in-line skating)
- Other emerging modes that are legal in B.C.
