Walkable and bike-friendly communities encourage physical activity, reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.

Well-maintained infrastructure also increases accessibility for all residents, including older adults and individuals with disabilities, fostering social connectedness and independence.

Additionally, investing in these amenities supports local economies, reduces traffic congestion, and improves air quality.

By advocating for safer, more accessible spaces for walking and biking, coalitions help create healthier, more vibrant communities for everyone.
