The California Center for Physical Activity's Healthy Transportation Network assists California's local officials with ways to design more walk- and bike-friendly communities. The Center partners with California and national experts with real-life experience in building and redesigning communities to be walk- and bike-friendly and collects and organizes input from these experts that can be shared with communities across the state. The Center resources include:
California-specific case studies that tell how communities have created walk- and bike-friendly environments. These are excellent tools to use as a model for other California communities. Case studies can also be a helpful tool for local elected officials and civic leaders who need to communicate with their constituencies about activity-friendly communities. A database of built environment links, terms, concepts, and building codes for local elected officials and city managers. The Center strives to make a community organizer's job easier by providing these informational tools in one convenient place. Personalized technical assistance by telephone or face-to-face through Healthy Transportation Network partners, which include the California Center for Physical Activity and State and Local Injury Control Section of the California Department of Public Health, California Bicycle Coalition, Local Government Commission, and the California/Western Regional Office, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy.
