Welcome to Active Commute Whitehorse

A City of Whitehorse initiative promoting sustainable travel for a healthier community and planet.

Join the Movement for a Healthier, Greener Whitehorse

Active Commute Whitehorse helps residents make small daily choices—walking, biking, taking the bus, or carpooling—that grow into lasting habits. Our goal is a city where sustainable travel is easy, enjoyable, and part of everyday life.

It’s not just about commuting. It’s about getting around sustainably all year long—for errands, school, work, or fun. Every trip by foot, bike, bus, or carpool means cleaner air, fewer emissions, and a healthier Whitehorse.

The program offers practical tools and resources, connects people, schools, and workplaces to share ideas, and brings the community together each May for a fun challenge that celebrates progress and builds momentum. By 2040, the City aims for 40% of all commutes to be sustainable—and every trip you take without driving alone brings us one step closer.

Be part of the change. Take small steps toward a healthier, more connected, and climate-friendly Whitehorse—and join the excitement during Active Commute Month each May!

Keep Up With Our Latest News

Active Commute Whitehorse builds on past favourites like Active Commute Week, Bike to Work/School Week, and YXY by Bike Week. The program now runs year-round, inspiring more people to travel in cleaner, greener ways—no matter where they’re going.
