Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is an excellent medium of transportation in White Horse. It is a very short drive to the nearest highway, such as I-295, from any location in this part of the township, and it is very convenient to park. However, White Horse is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, residents have access to a few bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is usually around the corner. Traveling as a pedestrian is not very popular in this area, although meeting day-to-day needs is convenient without a vehicle. This community is also not particularly amenable to biking as there are a good number of slopes for cyclists to brave, and White Horse has somewhat poor cycling infrastructure. Nonetheless, some pleasant pockets for cycling exist.
