Field Guides & Tools
Our Active Transportation Guide for Municipalities breaks down how cities and towns can plan safer, more practical walking, biking, and rolling networks, going beyond infrastructure and data to ask why residents do or don't use active modes on a given street. Our 7-step planning framework (Define, Data, Discuss, Diagnose, Develop, Deliver, Demonstrate) helps municipalities turn stakeholder input and existing conditions analysis into a fundable, trackable active transportation plan.
