Walk to Work 09 Participating in Walk to Work Day is easy; simply leave the car at home, put your feet first, and walk all or part of the way to work. If it’s too far to walk, use public transport and get off a few stops early. Or if you must use the car, try to park a good distance away from work and walk the rest of the way.

This year, Walk to Work Day is challenging Australia’s employers to register as WTWD Corporate Ambassadors:
- To promote regular walking as a healthy activity (better physical, mental & social health)
- To reduce reliance on the private motor vehicle (reduce car-dependency)
- To promote and improve the use of public transport (less traffic)
- To improve air quality by reducing unnecessary vehicle emissions (help tackle climate change and reduce global warming)

Individuals can also pledge their willingness to walk by registering as a Walking Class Hero at www.walk.com.au.
