BUILDING HEALTHY & PROSPEROUS COMMUNITIES

Here is a link to a website from Transportation 4 America which has a lot of information on building better communities by planning for ALL modes of transportation.  There are several sections which might be of interest.  One is a description of how Corpus Christi, TX has created a Strategic Plan for Active Mobility.  The second is a description of what the MidOhio Regional Planning Commission has done to encourage planning for all modes of transportation.  At the link you can download a guidebook with all of the information.
