14 Active Living and the Built Environment
15 Active Transportation Make Roads and Paths Safer for Bicyclists and Pedestrians Develop long-term plans with explicit active transportation goals. Implement Complete Streets programs. Expand Bicycle Lane and Trail Connections Ensure sidewalk continuity and direct routes for pedestrians and bicyclists. Climate Co-Benefit: Fewer Cars = Decreased Carbon Emissions.
16 Land Use for Active Living Re-Evaluate Urban Design and Land-Use Plans Develop mixed-use retail and residential areas within walking distance of transit. Economic Co- Benefit: Pedestrians and bicyclists shop and spend more per customer than drivers. Photo Credit: Michael McIver
17 Land Use for Active Living (cont.) Improve Community Design Develop design guidelines to improve streetscapes. Make entrances to civic buildings accessible for pedestrians. Adopt building codes that make stairs more attractive and accessible.
18 Quality Physical Activity In and Near Schools Education Co-Benefit: 15 to 30 minutes of daily physical activity can improve academic focus and classroom behavior. Offer at Least 30 Minutes of Quality Physical Activity Daily Require 30 minutes of daily physical activity for all students in all grade levels. Integrate physical activity into educational settings and allow for recess breaks. Ensure funding to build and maintain gyms, playgrounds and fields.
19 Require Standards-Based Physical Education Classes Include P.E. as a core requirement in school curricula. Adopt certification standards for P.E. teachers. Increase funding to provide high-quality P.E. classes & teachers. Quality Physical Activity In and Near Schools (cont.)
20 Food and Beverage Marketing Regulate the Marketing of Unhealthy Food In or Near Schools and Other Youth Facilities Discourage the marketing and sale of unhealthy foods in vending machines in youth centers, school facilities and parks department facilities. Limit all advertisements, monitor all food and beverage advertisements or restrict the marketing of products that are not permitted to be sold on campus. Set nutrition standards for children s meals that include a toy. Photo Credit: Center for Science in the Public Interest
21 State and Local Action We are seeing a lot of progress at the state and local level in policies to prevent childhood obesity. Morestates are enacting laws 31 states in 2011 versus 29 states in 2010 But fewer are being passed than in previous years. 60 bills in 2011 versus 77 bills in 2010
22 State and Local Approaches to Childhood Obesity Prevention Built Environment Physical Activity and Education Pricing Strategies Food Marketing to Children Cycling, walking and Complete Streets Transit-oriented development School siting Pedestrian-friendly roadways and intersections In-school physical activity requirements and standards Shared use agreements Collection of BMI data and other health indicators Incentives for healthy food purchases Taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages Incentives for active transit Limits on the marketing of unhealthy foods to kids, in or near schools, or within government buildings and agencies
23 Effective childhood obesity prevention initiatives Emphasize change in policy in addition to changes in social and physical environments to have maximum sustainable impact. Develop high leverage, community-wide, multi-level strategies designed to effect policy, systems and environmental change within government, schools, work sites, communities and places of worship. Incorporate a focus on vulnerable populations. Feature strong committed leadership among department heads, executives, elected officials and community leaders.
24 Effective childhood obesity prevention initiatives Use creative funding sources. Make healthy communities attractive. Include interagency and non-agency coordination and collaboration to improve access, opportunities and information related to healthy eating and active living. Involve innovative and supportive partnerships involving the academic, healthcare, business and civic sectors.
