Public Transit and Active Transportation

Healthy Rural Travel Safety Improving air quality Reduced driving – density, complete communities Reduced speed, road design, enforcement Improving air quality Land intensification, and design for active and public transportation Housing separated from traffic corridors / industry Multi-modal transportation – public and active Distributed activity destinations Grid and connectivity for new streets Mass transit Late night school buses and car pooling

Winter need not stop us

A New Vision for Travel Safety

Final Thoughts Declining injuries / deaths for motorists, but not for pedestrians and cyclists Safe travel design also saves lives through physical activity and air quality Vision Zero prompts health-promoting community design Video used with permission from “Bicycle Dutch.”
