Executive Summary
Federal investment in biking and walking benefits rural areas as much or more
than urban centers.
Active transportation programs directly benefit America’s youth, and thus can help rural areas to
attract and retain talented young people
and families.
Active transportation is a
smart investment relevant to all Americans
at a time when our nation grapples with budget deficits, a stagnant economy, stubbornly high unemployment, and rising energy costs.Slide4
