Commuter Survey Results
As part of the WRHA’s Physical Activity Promotion Team’s participation in the Healthy Canada by Design initiative, over 1600 WRHA staff participated in a survey about commuting and active transportation use (walking, cycling, transit, etc).
We are pleased to share a summary of the results. We hope this information can be used as a starting point for different work sites as they explore options that could gain traction with their staff.
