Mission
Even if global oil and gas shortages weren't rocking our world, Hamilton's active transportation infrastructure needs to be tailored for people - not cars. FreeTheFoot's mission is to:
- Ensure that pedestrian needs are prioritized.
- Expand walkability in the urban centre.
- Connect amalgamated areas to urban centre with active transportation networks.
Vision
In the face of rising living costs, climate change, and demand for oil and gas, improvements in active transportation are not just desirable, but becoming more and more necessary every day to keep our city accessible and liveable.
FreeTheFoot envisions:
- A robust, walkable environment, with walkable interconnections that make sense.
- Greater access to nature.
- More creative movement opportunities.
Values
Interconnection
Interconnected active transportation is necessary for efficient mobility of people.
Nature
Access to clean air and clean water is integral; therefore any disappearing natural resources in Hamilton should be protected.
Movement
Movement is the root of health and wellness, and active transportation should therefore be paramount.
