Active Travel Trip Counter

The Active Travel Trip Counter App allows students, parents, and school administrators, to submit the distance students actively travel to and from school. This information is then displayed in a variety of ways, including by school and board comparisons.

Please note that only schools who have had trips submitted will show up in the drop-down menu.

Determine The Amount of Metres You Traveled

Trip Counter Map (No Address Needed)

One way you can determine the amount of metres you traveled is to use the Measurement Map Tab that is on our Active Travel Trip Counter App.

1. Click on the white ruler icon (top left of the map)
2. In the pop-up, click on the brown ruler icon
3. Zoom in on the map to find the starting location of your trip
4. Click once on your starting location
5. Click once to create a pivot point for any turns along the way
6. Double click on your final destination
7. Under Measurement Result, your total number of metres traveled will be displayed

Google Maps (Address Needed)

If you have the address of your starting and ending locations, you can use Google Maps to get your total kilometres traveled. Since the Active Travel Trip Counter uses metres, you will need to convert kilometres to metres using the formula: 1 kilometre = 1,000 metres (km x 1000 = m)

Convert Various Units of Measurement to Metres

Use the Unit Converter Tab to convert various units of measurement to metres.

1. Select “Length” as the Unit Type
2. Enter the number of units you travelled
3. Enter the type of measurement you know (kilometre, foot, yard, etc.)
4. Convert to “Meter”
5. Your total number of metres travelled will show at the bottom

1. Enter the date of the trip
