WALKtober is our annual celebration of National Pedestrian Safety Month, highlighting the importance of staying active and creating safer streets. Learn more about WALKtober on the AAMPO website.

Walk. Log trips. Win cash prizes.

How it works:

Commute by walking in October.
Log your trips in the Alamo Commutes app or website.
Each trip logged = another chance to win.

Why walk? Less traffic, cleaner air, and more money left in your wallet. Your car can sit this one out.
