Participate in Walktober!

Walktober is a whole month’s worth of events and webinars created by the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT). MDOT will host free weekly webinars, called "Walkinars" in October, spotlighting Maryland pedestrians' safety, health and walkable commute options. Maryland even devotes a whole day to walking: Walk Maryland Day on October 2. And you’re invited to register as an official Walk Leader or “Sole Mate” to help others get moving. Find details on the MDOT website here.

There are five Walkinars offered for 2024, one every Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. They’re all free, but you’ll need to register for each one separately.

Here’s the Walkinar schedule:

October 3: Walking, Health, and Communities: National and Local Impacts
October 10: Crafting Safe Spaces for Every Step with Every Trip
October 17: Sidewalks to Safety: Ensuring Secure Routes for Students
October 24: Step Forward: Advancing Pedestrian Access and Safety
October 31: Sustainable Growth: How Walkability Creates More Equitable and Vibrant Places for All
