Safe and Healthy Streets: Active Transportation

Many communities in the United States, from small towns to large cities, are promoting walking and bicycling for routine travel to work, school, church, stores and other common activities. By shifting some routine automobile trips to walking and bicycling, leaders believe they can improve the health, environment, economy and attractiveness of their local communities. This presentation will focus on roadway design and land use strategies to increase walking and bicycling and will include examples from leading communities in North America.
