Active transportation is any self-propelled, human powered mode of transportation, such as walking or bicycling. It is important for the region to invest in and plan for active transportation. Numerous studies have shown active transportation facilities benefits the equity, health, economy, and environmental condition of communities.

Similar to street and highway planning, these networks require coordinated planning among multiple jurisdictions and should be linked to transit stops, schools, parks, and retail and medical centers to provide transportation options for the community.

ACOG supports active transportation through development of the Regional Active Transportation Plan, organizing area Bike Month events, and administering the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP).
