Citizen’s for Modern Transit launched its Ten Toe Express program in the St. Louis Region in 2007 linking walking with public transit use resulting in a healthier, more active lifestyle. The program uses a two-pronged approach - targeting both older adults and employees for the work commute - to encourage individuals to walk more and use public transit. Linking walking and public transit use has been proven to increase independence, accessibility and overall health. Official Ten Toe Express Walking Tours are held every Wednesday for participants to step out and enjoy different destinations in St. Louis by foot, train and bus. Each walking tour is led by a trained Ten Toe leader. The Ten Toe program is free to participate and is a great opportunity to learn how to access your community through "new" modes of transportation - your own two feet, the bus and MetroLink!
