Walkable, bikeable, transit-friendly community design is a
strategy for improving health
• One solution reduces many problems: – Inactivity– Obesity – Related disorders such
as diabetes– Traffic injuries
• Creates less air pollution per person

The Good News:
• SACOG is “doing better with less.” While overall plan spending is down by 5%, total funding for bicycle and pedestrian investments has the smallest decrease of any category – just 1%.
![Page 4: Active Transportation, Public Health, and the 2012 MTP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56813767550346895d9ef9ba/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Per capita funding in bicycle and pedestrian investments is up by 7%
![Page 5: Active Transportation, Public Health, and the 2012 MTP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56813767550346895d9ef9ba/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Funding for bicycle and pedestrian investments is 7.9% of total budget, much greater than other MPOs in the state.

1. Set a timetable to
achieve Complete Streets in 12 years.
![Page 7: Active Transportation, Public Health, and the 2012 MTP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56813767550346895d9ef9ba/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2. Establish a 20% target for all non-commute walk
and bike trips.

Focus on bike lanes in local circulation rather than regional bikeways to get the most use.

Pedestrian deaths are greater in sprawling areas, where there are fewer pedestrians.

3. Incorporate performance measures or targets for pedestrian and bicycle
safety
SAFETY1. Map annual number of pedestrian and bicycle collisions (and severity of injury/fatality): Per capita, per geographic area, by daytime population
2. Track total number of vehicle, bike and pedestrian collisions per capita, broken down by injury type: Fatalities and injuries

4. Incorporate plan performance measures that
assess health outcomes associated with
transportation-related physical activity and air
pollution.SB375 Health& Equity MetricsDaily amount (in minutes) of work trip and non‐work trip related physical activity.

4. Incorporate plan performance measures that
assess health outcomes associated with
transportation-related physical activity and air
pollution.
Estimate premature mortality attributed to traffic related ambient PM 2.5, and estimate asthma incidence and asthma exacerbations attributed to traffic related NO2.

Most air pollution in Sacramento is generated by cars and trucks
Hwy 99 southbound from downtown Sacramento

5. Work to provide greater protection of residents from
the risks of exposure to high-volume roadway toxic
air contaminants.

Separate heavy traffic and homes, or implement adequate mitigation measures

Many car trips are short… 25% are less than one mile

6. Incorporate the promotion of walking and bicycling into the greenhouse gas reduction strategies

7. For future plans, complete a full analysis of area trip-
making, especially the home-to-school trips.
