I. The NCBW / ALRC Environmental Scan for Active Community Implementation

Communities looking to become more walkable and bike-friendly have a host of tools, projects and programs available to help them on the path towards their goals. Many communities aren’t aware of these resources, while others are simply overwhelmed by the options and don’t know where to start. The NCBW / ALRC Environmental Scan for Active Community Implementation is a guide to these resources, suggesting their utility for different needs and user groups. It suggests a sequence for their use, categorizing the tools.  For each tool profiled in The NCBW / ALRC Environmental Scan for Active Community Implementation we provide basic access information, a summary of materials, and suggestions for use.  For each “stage” of tools we define terms and distinguish between the various approaches to tool use.
