contd Partnership

Through the Safe Routes to Parks Activating Communities Program, the National Partnership provides grants and tailored technical assistance to help communities develop and begin to implement Safe Routes to Parks action plans. The action plans provide clear steps to improve local park access and safety for people walking, biking, and rolling.

The National Partnership leads and supports state and local coalitions across the country that engage and elevate community voices, analyze and research public policies, and recommend policy and systems changes. These engagements prioritize equity and transportation justice, with a goal of making our streets safe and accessible for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

The National Partnership makes available free webinars, publications with best practices and information on the health and safety benefits of walking and bicycling to schools and in daily life, and low-cost fee-for-service technical assistance to help community leaders, parents and other individuals understand how to design safe and healthy transportation systems that reduce crashes and increase physical activity.
