Transportation & Recreation

Transportation is important for health because it provides access to goods, essential services, and opportunities like jobs, education, food, and healthcare.

Active transportation includes walking and biking. This makes it easier for people to fit physical activity into their daily routines. Communities can encourage active transportation by building safe walking and biking routes.

Communities are healthier when they have sidewalks, bike lanes, and bus stops close to homes and businesses.
