Active transportation provides a myriad of health, environmental, social, and economic benefits! When you leave the car at home and opt instead to walk or cycle to your destination, it's an easy way to integrate physical activity into your daily routine. Regular physical activity promotes healthy weight and reduces the risk of type II diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. By choosing active transportation, you'll burn calories, save money, and have fun! You will also contribute to safer and calmer neighborhoods, less traffic congestion, and a reduced need for costly infrastructure such as roads and parking. The environment wins, too, since cars emit pollutants that cause urban smog and climate change. Active transportation is the smart choice for our health and our environment!
