In this webinar, Penn State Extension’s Leadership and Community Vitality team members Neal Fogle and John Turack will share their experiences of working with Huntingdon County, PA, on the development and implementation of an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) in collaboration with PA WalkWorks, a PA Department of Health initiative. Their award-winning collaboration resulted in an ATP that provides transportation equity by considering the needs and impacts of projects in low-income census tract and block groups, connects walking and bicycling networks, leverages partnerships by engaging key stakeholders in the process, improves public health through education and increases economic mobility by allowing for non-motorized transportation enhancements throughout the County’s boroughs and townships. The Plan assists the county in developing land-use plans and policies that will allow for the development of activity-friendly, non-motorized routes connecting to everyday destinations. In addition to Penn State Extension’s partnership on this effort, the Leadership and Community Vitality team has been able to collaborate with additional Pennsylvania communities, leading to enhanced transportation plans also being created and adopted by those communities.
