  • How has transportation changed over time?

 

Activity

Choose one of the engaging activities below to take action:

  • Transportation of The Future: Use your imagination. What will transportation look like in the future? Draw or write to explain your idea.
  • Transportation Challenge: Can you bike or walk everywhere for an entire week? Keep track of how far you go by car, by bike, and by walking for the week you chose. For extra motivation, challenge your friends too! 
  • Transportation Map: Make a biking/walking map of your community. Include your house, grocery store, school, and any other places your family goes often. Add in the distances. Colour code the map showing places you can walk (closest), bike (middle distances – varies according to how far you can ride), and drive (places too far to walk or bike). Are any of the places you normally drive actually close enough to bike or walk? Here’s an example map.
