walking commute

On-foot journey workward

A walking commute is the journey between home and work made entirely on foot.

The term frames walking as a deliberate transit choice rather than mere strolling: My walking commute takes about twenty minutes.

It often carries connotations of urban livability, environmental consciousness, or fitness goals—someone with a walking commute lives close enough to work that driving or transit becomes unnecessary.
