Promote Community Mobility and Active Transportation

Community mobility refers to the ability to move about a community or neighborhood independently by any mode of transportation. Promoting community mobility with an emphasis on active transportation like walking and biking and through a lens of accessibility can promote good health, strengthen economic development, foster social connectivity, and improve access to everyday destinations. 

Many communities across South Carolina face persistent gaps in opportunities for community mobility, especially related to safe infrastructure for walking and biking. Many residents also experience major barriers to consistent transportation. We support coordinated efforts that equip local communities to assess and improve community mobility. This also includes necessary efforts at the state level to build partnerships, strengthen shared understanding and align resources across multi-sector partners.
