Webinar Registration Open: Designing Resilient Streets through Green Infrastructure
Green infrastructure, like tree planting and landscape design, can do more than beautify a street. It can cool neighborhoods, improve air quality, support mental and physical health, and help communities adapt to climate change. This ATRC webinar will explore how greening strategies can be integrated into active transportation projects to build climate resiliency. You’ll also learn how to collaborate with the California Conservation Corps to install green amenities, and hear the inspiration behind a San Joaquin Valley community that is incorporating green infrastructure into its design.

Join National Walk and Roll to School Day on October 8th
Walk and Roll to School Day is an annual event that shines light on the powerful act of walking to school. It’s a day when communities, schools, families, and children come together to celebrate the joys and benefits of walking as a mode of transportation. With a focus on health, safety, community, and the environment, Walk and Roll to School Day encourages students to take a step in the right direction by embracing the many benefits of walking to school.
Health on the Move: Extreme Heat Challenges and Active Transportation
Even though summer is ending, many Californians know that the heat doesn’t always fade with the season. The fall can still bring unseasonably hot days, and these conditions continue to affect how people move through their communities. A recent study found that extreme heat is reshaping daily routines and travel patterns across the country, often discouraging active modes of transport. For many vulnerable populations, particularly those in communities suffering from historical underinvestment, travel options are limited. These populations can remain exposed to dangerous heat while traveling on foot, by bike, or waiting for transit, underscoring equity gaps in how different communities experience climate change.
