Walk
For those who live only a mile or two from work, walking is a healthy, easy, and free way to commute.
A person walking at a moderate pace can cover a mile in about 20 minutes and burn about 85 calories (for a 150 lb person). If you live farther away, you can incorporate walking into your daily commute by taking transit — walking to and from the stop — or walking to meet your carpool or vanpool.
Glendale has an average walk score of 71.
Bike
Glendale is better than ever on two wheels — with new bike lanes, sharrows, and bike parking expanding across the city.
The group Walk Bike Glendale was formed in 2011 as a chapter of the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, with the vision of making Glendale a city where everyone feels safe to walk and bike. In 2024, Glendale's City Council received the Final Plan for the updated Bicycle Transportation Plan, expected to foster new bike infrastructure around the city.
