Why Walkability Matters

Community mobility, walkability and active transportation describe how easily people can move around their communities without relying on a car—whether by walking, biking, using wheelchairs or public transit. It’s about creating safe, accessible and connected places where people can reach goods, services and each other, making movement a natural part of everyday life.

Rethinking How We Get Around

Many towns were built for cars, making it harder for people to walk, bike or use public transit. By designing streets for everyone, we can create safer, more connected communities where people can easily reach jobs, schools and daily needs—no vehicle required.

Who’s Involved in Building Better Mobility?

Creating walkable, mobile communities means safer streets, better policies and local solutions that make mobility more accessible for everyone regardless of age, ability or income. This requires collaboration across many sectors—transportation, planning, education, officials, parks, housing and more. When we all work together, we can create vibrant, connected neighborhoods where everyone can move safely.
