Walking in West Sacramento 

Walking is the simplest and least expensive mode of transportation. You also get all the health benefits of exercise while transporting yourself at a pace that allows you to experience the sights, sounds and smells that you would miss in a car. It’s easy, inexpensive, invigorating and non-polluting. You don’t have to drive in traffic, look for a parking space or even pay for parking.

Additional resources such as maps and safety tips for getting around on foot are maintained by WALKSacramento at http://www.walksacramento.org/resources/.  

If your destination seems too far to travel on foot, you can still take advantage of the benefits of walking in the following ways:

  • Walk to a bus stop, and take Yolobus.
  • Walk to a meeting point for your carpool or vanpool.
  • Once you get to where you're heading, walk for small errands and outings.

The Future 

The City is working to improve and expand its network of bikeways, walkways, and trails to make it easier to move through the city on foot, mobility device, bicycle, scooter, and electric bicycle.
