A Walk Challenge & 2 Car Free Fridays Walking Tours encourage the shoe leather express!

Pittsburghers enjoy a good walk as much as anybody, that’s why we consistently have one of the highest percentage of people that walk to work according to the annual American Community Survey.

Car Free Fridays presents you with several excellent incentives to enjoy a good walk . . .
