This Web Forum will showcase different “active transportation” initiatives that make walking and biking for daily travel an easier and more attractive option for children and adults. Presenters will highlight projects that had received funding from Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW)<http://phi.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a84b40a6e55f8e0b7cdf… grants focused on increasing physical activity and preventing obesity. Nick Sims will discuss the Jefferson County, Alabama CPPW initiative which involved several concurrent efforts focused on creating walkable communities. This included the adoption of a SmartCode zoning ordinance, Complete Streets resolutions, a new County-wide Greenway Master Plan, and policies supportive of Safe Routes to School. Much of this work continues today through the County’s Health Action Partnership, its member organizations, and specifically the Livable Communities Priority Group. Vikrant Sood will provide an overview of policy, systems, and environmental strategies undertaken in San Diego, California to promote active living. These included the development of innovative technical tools and assistance and incentive programs. One highlight was the development of San Diego’s Healthy Communities Atlas, a tool which enables communities to see the specific relationships between numerous neighborhood characteristics that impact the health of their communities. Vikrant will highlight initiatives targeted at low- and moderate-income households, people of color and people with disabilities. Julia Murphy will highlight efforts in San Antonio, Texas, focusing on the B-Cycle project, which furthers the City of San Antonio’s twin goals of enhancing both environmental and public health by providing a sustainable transportation option. She will discuss how the city is transforming itself into a bicycle-friendly community with a Bicycle Master Plan and Complete Streets Policy.
