Welcome to Active Commute Whitehorse

a City of Whitehorse community initiative with a vision to create lasting changes in commuter travel habits that improve their health and environment.

Through year-round public education and activities, we aim to support Whitehorse commuters in choosing sustainable ways to get around instead of driving their gasoline or diesel vehicles.

We’re working to boost the number of people walking, biking, taking transit, and carpooling—to help reach the City’s sustainable transportation goals. Active Commute Whitehorse invites champions, employers, and schools to take small steps throughout the year, all leading up to a fun month-long challenge in May. Join us in building a greener Whitehorse!

It builds on the energy and commitment of previous participants—encouraging even more people to choose active and transit-friendly ways to get around. Check out past challenge highlights, stay up to date with current news, and see the difference our community is making!
