CMT Ten Toes + Transit Program
Citizens for Modern Transit’s Ten Toes + Transit program is widely recognized for helping more than 10,000 older adults integrate walking and public transit use to explore area attractions in a social setting. It’s a great way to stay active, make new friends and become better familiarized with MetroLink and MetroBus.
The mainstay of the program is the 12-week walking session offered each year in the spring and fall. Volunteer-led walking groups meet at MetroLink stations or MetroBus stops and together explore one of the hundreds of destinations in St. Louis accessible via transit. Groups walk anywhere from 0.25 to 5 miles while exploring, then typically grab lunch or a snack and complete the reverse trip back.
Ten Toes + Transit also offers special tours, Coffee Club walks and Happy Hour excursions. Offered the first Saturday of each month, Coffee Club walks are designed to explore the local coffee shop scene. Access the schedule for these two-to-three-hour outings here. Happy Hour excursions are also available on select Tuesdays. These tours visit an array of local establishments with food and drink specials. That schedule is available here.
