District Walk And Bike Tours

It’s not ironic that Transportation Month and our busiest tourist month are one and the same. How we all choose to get around affects traffic and our waistlines. During the final days of March, the City of Key West is teaming up with nine of the largest employers on the island for a friendly competition of who’s employees can commute the greenest.  Two City Commissioners will be walking the walk by leading foot and bike based tours of their districts.
