Transportation Events

This is an external community event.

Celebrate the beauty of fall by walking a different trail every Sunday in October. With crisp air, vibrant colors, and scenic views, it’s the perfect time to get outside and get moving. Each week showcases a new trail, highlighting autumn’s most spectacular landscapes while encouraging healthy, active living.

Leashed dogs are welcome to join the fun. The first 200 participants at each location will receive a commemorative Walktober button designed by artist Alex Hamil—collect all four by attending every event!

Walk with us and share your perspective! 

The Bi-State Sustainable Reinvestment Corridor project team is coming to a location near you and asking for your participation in a series of walking audits! 

Walking audits are great tools for experiencing and understanding together, in real time, how people move around the corridor today. Together, we will look at sidewalks, crossings, transit access, development, and public spaces to see what works well and what needs improvement.

Regular meeting of the Total Transportation Policy Committee (TTPC). 

As part of the Regional Bikeway Plan Update, MARC is holding two workshops to understand the needs, challenges, and barriers to implementation of active transportation infrastructure. Please consider joining us as we talk about these issues in depth.

Celebrate Walktober with a FREE nature walk at Lone Elm Park!

We will meet at the Rendezvous Shelter and go on a guided walk through the park. Along the way, we will learn about the history of the site that served as a campground and rendezvous point for travelers along the Santa Fe, Oregon, and California Trails.
