Active Transportation is human powered movement - it is what we do when we use things like shoes, wheelchairs, and bikes to get around. When we are more active as a community, our health improves, our air becomes cleaner, and the local economy gets busier. We can get more people choosing active transportation by changing how we build our communities. Bicycle lanes make roads safer to bike, sidewalks keep cars away from pedestrians, and compact neighborhoods promote foot traffic. Connections between these amenities opens active transportation as an option for everyday travel.
