All Things Walking Webinar Series

Webinar Topic #1: Data and Resources to Propel Local Walking Programs and Solutions

Have you wondered how to keep up with all the tools and data available for successful local walking initiatives? 


This webinar, the "kickoff" of a new series, will provide you with in-depth information and resources to support your work at the state, tribal and local levels.    

 

Presenters

Tom will talk about how the CDC has a growing interest in promoting walking as a critical intervention to improving public health, their recent Vital Signs report that highlights encouraging trends in walking among adults, and exciting work that addresses walking.

 

Laura, whose engineering firm partnered with America Walks to develop the new Steps to a Walkable Community Guide, will talk about the Guide and how to use this book and our "soon-to be-launched" on-line resource to develop strategies toward walkable communities.


Scott will give an overview of how America Walks is working to develop multi-sector partnerships to advance walking initiatives. He'll also talk about our on-line technical resources, community Walking Action Network workshops, and give an update on our national campaign strategy.
