1 Complete Streets Policy and Practice presented by Leslie Phemister, Nancy Wagner and Kasey Holloway Active Transportation Alliance 1

2 Learning Objectives Understand the connection between public health and transportation and the benefits of active transportation Identify the unique challenges that communities face and strategies for addressing them Learn the difference between Complete Streets and the traditional approach to building roads Understand some of the tools and concepts that go into roadway planning and design 2

3 What does transportation have to do with public health? Adults should get 150 min/week Every trip is an opportunity for physical activity Built environment influences our choices

4 Quick Facts from APHA Active transportation is as effective as structured workouts Teenagers watch less TV and are less likely to smoke Better mental health in men Lower risk of breast cancer 4

5 Transportation and physical inactivity The more time a person spends in a car, the more likely he or she is to be overweight. Conversely, higher rates of walking and bicycling are associated with lower rates of obesity. Policy Link, Prevention Institute, Convergence Partnership: The Transportation Prescription: Bold New Ideas for Healthy, Equitable Transportation Reform in America 5

6 Driving is part of a sedentary lifestyle SOURCE: Walking, Cycling and Obesity Rates in Europe, North America and Australia - Journal of Physical Activity and Health,

7 More time in a car: Higher probability of obesity Obesity Relationships with Community Design, Physical Activity, and Time Spent in Cars Lawrence D. Frank, PhD, Martin A. Andresen, MA, Thomas L. Schmid, PhD

8 More walking: Less obesity Obesity Relationships with Community Design, Physical Activity, and Time Spent in Cars Lawrence D. Frank, PhD, Martin A. Andresen, MA, Thomas L. Schmid, PhD

10 Elements of an Ideal Complete Streets Approach 1. Includes a vision for the transportation system 2. Specifies users of all ages, abilities, and modes 3. Encourages a connected network 4. Specifies all agencies and all roads in that network 5. Applies to all projects in all phases 6. Provides for specific exceptions 7. References design criteria 8. Acknowledges context sensitivity 9. Sets measurable performance standards 10. Addresses its own implementation 10

11 Why do people want Complete Streets? Safety Economic Health Social Fun! 11

12 Benefits: Complete Streets increase safety for everyone on the road Reduce vehicle speeds Decrease deaths Reduce severity of injury in crashes Raise driver awareness of pedestrians and bicyclists on the road

13 Benefits: Complete Streets make economic sense Complete Streets help individuals save money Complete Streets benefit housing markets Complete Streets help local businesses Schools

14 Benefits: Complete Streets improve people s health Complete Streets help people get more frequent activity and reduce the risks associated with obesity.

15 Benefits: Complete Streets are environmentally friendly Complete Streets provide an alternative to driving. Residents are 65% more likely to walk in a neighborhood with sidewalks. Cities with more bike lanes per square mile have higher levels of bicycle commuting.

16 Benefits: Complete Streets help youth stay active More students walk to school and to parks. Reduce traffic congestion around schools.

17 Benefits: Complete Streets allow older adults to age in place Seniors who don t drive make 65% fewer trips to visit family, friends, or go to church. Complete Streets provide transportation options so seniors can maintain independence.

18 Benefits: Complete Streets better serve people with disabilities The principles of Complete Streets embrace accessibility for all people, including people with disabilities.

19 Barriers to active transportation Facilities: Lack of sidewalks, crossings, and bikeways Traffic Safety: Speeding cars, frequent crashes Inconvenience: Environment built for cars, and nothing else 19

30 Barriers: Long crossings over wide intersections

31 Barriers: Lack accessible curb ramps

32 Complete Streets... can be safely crossed and traveled upon and alongside by all users of the roadway, regardless of their age, ability or travel mode. 32

33 Complete Streets... can be safely crossed and traveled upon and alongside by all users of the roadway, regardless of their age, ability or travel mode. A Complete Streets policy is a commitment by a jurisdiction to accommodate all of these road users in all of their future roadway projects whenever possible. 33

34 Why Adopt A Policy? Policies are comprehensive: all roads, not individual projects Policies are constant: outlast political climate Policies add control: control over road decisions 34
