Active transportation offers incredible benefits to states, communities, and people – from improved health through physical activity to boosting quality of life by reducing time wasted sitting in traffic to stimulating local economies. By providing long-term, dedicated funds for walking and bicycling, states can make meaningful investments in their residents and communities. Safe Routes Partnership’s report, “Investing in Health, Safety, and Mobility: A Report on State Funding for Walking, Bicycling, and Safe Routes to School,” provides background, initial data, and promising examples of state funding opportunities to support walking, bicycling, and Safe Routes to School.
