Moving Cochrane forward
Walking, scootering and cycling offer more than just a way to get around — they enhance quality of life, reduce traffic congestion and support local businesses. Active transportation attracts eco-conscious visitors, fosters a healthier community and helps preserve Cochrane’s natural beauty.
Through ongoing efforts, we are expanding our pathway network, making it safe and accessible for residents and visitors to walk, cycle and e-scooter throughout the community. Every pathway is considered a key transportation corridor, so we ensure they are fully accessible and maintained year-round to provide residents with reliable transportation options in all seasons.
E-scooter program
In June 2023, electric transportation company Bird hit the streets of Cochrane as a part of the shared electric scooter pilot project.
Bike safety
We are committed to making cycling a safe and attractive transportation choice for people of all ages and abilities — for both commuting and recreational purposes.
Trails and pathways
Cochrane has more than 80 kilometres of pathways, trails and public sidewalks. This pathway system helps connect several areas of town.
