This guide reviews four policy levers that metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) can use to encourage active transportation and improve health outcomes:
- Dedicated funding for active transportation
- Performance measures to better assess project benefits
- Planning and policies that support regional goals
- Improved data and measuring what matters
Each chapter includes several case studies from MPOs across the U.S. to show what it looks like in practice.
