Active Transportation Plan

Developing the City's Active Transportation Plan

The City of Greensburg has received grant funding through the WalkWorks Program to develop an Active Transportation Plan over the next year. WalkWorks is a collaboration between the Pennsylvania Downtown Center and the PA Department of Health. The funding is provided by the State Physical Activity and Nutrition Grant and the Preventative Health and Health Services Block Grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Moving into 2024, the City will be assembling a Steering Committee, collecting data, mapping out existing conditions, and getting public input. Stay tuned for opportunities to weigh in through a survey, interactive mapping, and a public forum.

Active transportation refers to walking, riding a bike or other micromobility device, using a wheelchair, or accessing transit to get to everyday destinations. Active transportation is or should be a regular part of everyone's day, but in many cases there are physical barriers to being able to get from place to place safely other than by driving. Planning for active transportation means look for ways to make communities safer, more accessible, and more connected along inviting networks of sidewalks, trails, shared use paths, and bike lanes. Every community is different and needs to develop an active transportation plan suited to its location, population, needs, and aspirations. When more people have more options for getting where they need to go safely, it makes for healthier communities, both reducing the risk of crashes and of chronic health conditions.
