Getting Around
Leave the car at home and avoid driving downtown. Take advantage of all-night TTC service on part of the subway system and the car free zone along Yonge Street!
On Foot

By Bike
Cycling is a great way to see as many projects across the city as possible. Don't forget a safety light, bell and helmet.
