Active Living Policy Resources and Support

How can we help you with the effort in your 社区?

We all want and deserve to live in safe, healthy communities. People who live in neighborhoods where it is easier and safer to walk around are more active and have reduced risk of heart disease and diabetes. That is why the 美国心脏协会 enthusiastically supports 社区-led efforts to pass policies that promote active living.

From investments in bicycle and pedestrian safety projects, to comprehensive Complete Streets policies, policy change can create more livable and safe neighborhoods for everyone to walk, 自行车, 滚动和使用中转. How can we help you with the effort in your 社区?
