Encouragement
Healthy Livable Communities: The CT Association of Directors of Health, Inc. has a web-based Toolkit that can help communities to improve healthy eating and active living. Much of the material on active living relates to walkability.
Safe Routes to Schools
Bike Everywhere/Bike to Work: Beginning in 2000, CRCOG spearheaded an effort to encourage more people to bike to work. CRCOG got involved in this program because research indicated that many people in the region did not understand that the bicycle has a place on the road and that the bicycle is a means of transportation. As the program has developed, it has grown too large for CRCOG and in 2005, transitioned over to the Central CT Bicycle Alliance, a regional bike advocacy group. In 2008, CCBA expanded the program beyond Bike to Work to encourage use of bikes for all types of trips.
