Two students from Olive View Elementary in Corning have been given bikes in exchange for their perfect attendance. What a great way to promote active transportation!

Walking reduces risk of heart attack and stroke.
And walking 1.5 miles generates less than a quarter of the greenhouse gasses than if you drove the same distance.
That’s why we encourage you to #WalkToWorkDay tomorrow.
Can’t walk to work? Walk to lunch /weekend errands instead.

Benefits of Investing in Transportation Infrastructure:
o Transportation #Equity: meet everyone's needs
o Growth Management: support infill development & reduce urban sprawl
o Accessibility: increase access to regional destinations
o #Safety: fix accident-prone roads

[Glenn County Regional Transportation Plan @GoGlennCounty]

RTP focus: developing a coordinated and balanced #multimodal regional transportation system.

The balance is achieved by considering investments and improvements for moving people & goods across all modes (roads, transit, bike, pedestrian, trucking, railroad, aviation)

More than 50 yrs ago, Japanese inventor Seiichi Miyake made it easier for the visually impaired to navigate public spaces. Tacticle blocks are everywhere. From railway platforms to urban crosswalks..

Next time a city official tells you: "we don't have space for pedestrians and cyclists". Love this gif by @otucis!

Transit is an equity issue. Access to frequent, reliable, affordable #PublicTransportation is access to opportunity. It's hard to build an equitable community if a pricey vehicle is the only way to get to work, day care, the doc's office, or grocery store. #TransitEquityDay

[Glenn County Regional Transportation Plan @GoGlennCounty]

What is #multimodal planning?
Multimodal planning considers all modes of travel (walking, biking, driving, public transit) and the connections among them. When counties enhance connections between modes, they are able to increase access to destinations throughout the region.

"Active transportation programs represent a smart
financial investment. Biking and walking account
for less than two percent of the entire federal surface
transportation budget yet account for 12 percent of all trips
taken in America." #FoodForThought

"Due in large measure to lack of heavy traffic, smaller towns offer
viable choices for people of all ages to travel without climbing
into a car. Parents are more likely to let younger kids bike to
school or baseball practice."
