Summary
Doing regular physical activity is one of the most important ways that people of all ages can improve their health. Active transportation, like walking and biking, makes it easier for people to fit physical activity into their daily routines. Communities can use built environment strategies, like creating safe walking and biking routes, to increase active transportation.
