Introduction to Active Transportation Outreach

Active Transportation Outreach can be used to inventory human-powered transportation facilities and promote transportation alternatives that improve the health and welfare of a community.

Active transportation generally refers to walking, biking, and other forms of human-powered transportation and their related assets. Safe and convenient, active transportation leads to cleaner environments and healthier communities. It also creates vibrant, connected communities that attract tourism, highly educated workforces, and corporate investment. For years, communities have relied on a strategy called Complete Streets to plan, design, and operate roadways and rights-of-way with all users in mind. This strategy makes the transportation network safer and more efficient. It also encourages the use of active transportation and promotes safe and convenient facilities that people feel comfortable using. Providing 24/7 access to active transportation opportunities helps you increase the use of human-powered transportation resources in your community. 

The Active Transportation Outreach solution delivers a set of capabilities that help state and local governments inventory human-powered transportation facilities and promote transportation alternatives that improve the health and welfare of a community.
