Key takeaway:

• In this study, interactions with parents and peers and availability of sedentary media activities, after-school programs, and community centers influenced frequency and intensity of physical activity.

This report offers insights into how newly expanding access to data can assist in improving walking and biking programs, provides an overview of the current state of data access and its limitations, and highlights case studies of communities and organizations using data to make walking and bicycling programs and policies function more effectively.

We are in a time of rapid change when it comes to using data to understand and improve health and safety. Join this webinar to learn how data can be used to inform and support Safe Routes to School initiatives. 

Key takeaway:

• As more Vision Zero policies are getting adopted in the United States, infrastructure design should remain central to increase safety in cycling, but it must be supplemented with other initiatives to promote a safe cycling culture.

This infographic in Spanish features evidence on the barriers of walking and biking to school and the positive impacts of SRTS programs on physical activity levels and safety. Findings presented in this infographic come from a related ALR research review.

Walkability checklist developed for use by teens. 

"Be A Roll Model" is a campaign to encourage everyone to model safe behaviors to enhance the safety of all road users, including those who bicycle.

This Guide was prepared for pedestrian and bicycle safety professionals and others who are proactive in developing programs at the State or community level.  It provides a compilation of existing and proposed countermeasures that can be used by a variety of implementers to help solve a wide range of pedestrian and bicycle safety problems. 

Who has the right-of-way? All vehicles must follow right-of-way rules to safely cross intersections. Right-of-way is an activity for children that helps them understand who goes first at an intersection.

The Walk and Bike Safely curriculum is designed specifically for use by teachers and volunteers working with adult immigrants who are beginning English language learners.  It consists of a teacher's guide, a student workbook, and two audio segments.

In honor of Bike Month, this webinar brings three perspectives on how to help families bicycle together: Family Biking Workshops and classes for all stages of family biking; Parent/youth summer programming with bike share; and Open Streets events.

People everywhere want access to safe and affordable recreational spaces. With shared use, public and private property owners can open underutilized facilities for community use. 

School campuses should welcome children whether they arrive on foot, by bike, bus, or car. Too often, a student walking to school is confronted with traffic congestion, unsafe crossings and a circuitous route to the front door. This guide summarizes best practices for planning and designing K-12 school campuses that encourage walking.

This infographic highlights the health and community benefits of Safe Routes to School.
