As we enter the winter season, many Californians will embrace the opportunity to slow down and enjoy moments of connectedness with loved ones. For others, this time of year may deepen their sense of isolation. Fortunately, active transportation has a direct role to play in decreasing social isolation and promoting strong, connected communities. You may have experienced the boost a smile or nod with another traveler provides while walking or biking. This is just one way that active transportation can help counter social isolation and begin to rebuild our communities.
