Description:The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends built environment approaches that combine one or more interventions to improve pedestrian or bicycle transportation systems (activity-friendly routes) with one or more land use and community design interventions (everyday destinations). Combined approaches that connect activity-friendly routes to everyday destinations make it safer and more convenient for people of all abilities to walk, run, bike, skate, or use wheelchairs.
An activity-friendly route is one that is a direct and convenient connection with everyday destinations, o ering physical protection from cars, or making it easy to cross the street. These routes can include crosswalks, protected bicycle lanes, multi-use trails, and pedestrian bridges. Everyday destinations are places people can get to from where they live by walking, bicycling, or public transit. These destinations can include grocery stores, schools, worksites, libraries, parks, restaurants, cultural and natural landmarks, or healthcare facilities.
To increase opportunities for physical activity through the built environment, public health professionals can work in partnership with multiple sectors, particularly transportation, land use, and community planning, but also education, parks and recreation, economic development, and community organizing.
