Safe Riding and Walking through Winter Nights
It’s February, and as the days get a little longer and the night falls a little later, pedestrians and cyclists may be lulled into a false sense of safety, but there are still plenty of dark, wintry nights left to navigate. Over half of fatal pedestrian crashes happen between 6 PM and midnight, and nearly 45 percent of serious injury pedestrian crashes occur during the same time. For cyclists, almost 40 percent of fatal crashes occur between 6 PM and midnight; 46 percent between 3 and 9 PM. Here are tips and considerations for safely travelling by foot or on wheels at night to prevent crashes.
Health On the Move: Sustained Physical Activity through Active Transportation
Research shows that active transportation promotes lifelong physical activity by embedding movement into daily routines. Daily physical activity offers significant health benefits by controlling or preventing chronic disease and promoting positive mental health. Chronic diseases and mental health conditions account for most U.S. healthcare spending, consuming approximately $3.7 to $4.9 trillion annually. Physical inactivity, specifically, contributes to about 1 in 10 premature deaths in the U.S.

Health on the Move: Engaging Your Local Health Jurisdiction for Active Transportation Program Planning
Local Health Jurisdictions (LHJs) in California participate in bicycle and walking projects through the Active Transportation Program (ATP). These activities often fall under the purview of health promotion and community wellness programs within the LHJs.
Whether applying for an ATP infrastructure, non-infrastructure, combination or plan project, all require robust public participation and/or engagement that is meaningful, sustained, ongoing, and supported by local partners. LHJs are experienced in community outreach methods and will be effective partners in this work. LHJs can also provide local health data for your project area such as crash or injury mapping, and/or rates of physical activity, obesity and other chronic disease risk factors; these data can support applications and add depth to community engagement activities.
