The Pathway Patrol was started in 1997 and has since grown both in numbers
of patrollers and in area covered. In 1999, there were 46 patrollers who
walked, in-line skated and cycled on the pathways providing a coverage
of approximately 36 hours/week.
The volunteer Patrol was developed to help make the pathways of the
National Capital Region safer and more enjoyable for recreation and
commuting. Patrollers operate in pairs during daylight hours providing
emergency assistance and information to other pathway users.
Look for their bright yellow vest and say thank-you to volunteers who
are helping to make the pathways in the National Capital Region more
enjoyable for all.
