Walk to Work on Friday, April 12

Be a part of the nation’s first official Walk to Work Day!

Join the celebration: It takes walking just 15 minutes of your commute to be counted! Walk and share your photos and experiences using the #Walk2Work hashtag on Twitter and Instagram.

• Get fit: A half-hour walk a day, reduces health risks, improves your mood — and lengthens your life, too!
• Go green: By choosing to walk for short trips instead of driving, you can help reduce San Francisco’s carbon emissions by 800,000 pounds a year.
• Bring friends: Download a FREE employer toolkit of resources (Poster, Benefits, Pedestrian Rights and the Law, New Balance discount and more!) to build the movement for a more walkable, livable city.
