Moving more is one of the best ways to improve health and reduce the risk of chronic disease, yet most people do not get enough physical activity. The BUILD America 250 Act is an important opportunity to make it easier, safer and more accessible for people to be active in their daily lives by improving access to walking, biking and other forms of active transportation.
As Congress negotiates surface transportation reauthorization, prioritizing bike‑ped infrastructure is essential. Low physical‑activity rates demand stronger, healthier community design. Active transportation infrastructure is public health infrastructure.
When people can get to where they need to go safely, the benefits are clear. This week, the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee advanced legislation which would renew federal transportation programs and investments that shape community health and economic development.

Walking, biking and rolling infrastructure is essential to the health, safety and vitality of communities nationwide.

Always a pleasure to advocate for policies that help get kids outdoors with my @OAK_Updates partners. As we approach this next Surface Transportation Reauthorization, it’s imperative that we prioritize funding for safe walking, biking and rolling infrastructure🚶🏾🚲🛼
Great news 🎉The Every Kid Outdoors Act was introduced by @RepYassAnsari! This bill gives every 4th and 5th grader, and their families, free entry to our nat'l parks and public lands. This is crucial to ensuring that all kids can get outdoors. 🌳💧⛰️
