The HTN is a project of the California Center for Physical Activity, a joint program of the California Department of Public Health State and Local Injury Control Branch (SLIC) and the UCSF Department of Nursing's Institute for Health and Aging. Funding for this program is provided by the Federal Highway Administration and administered by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
The Healthy Transportation Network provides walking and bicycling safety information — doing it safely, for everyday transportation, and in supportive environments.
HTN also provides trainings to local stakeholders interested in creating environments that encourage safe walking and bicycling:
- Community members and groups
- Public works officials, engineers, planners, architects
- Local decision-makers concerned with public safety
- Local government officials and staff
What is your neighborhood's walkscore?
An innovative new metric - this tool can be used as a quick reference for pedestrian amenities in a particular neighborhood. It by no means replaces a good, old-fashioned neighborhood visit or a call to your local pedestrian advocacy group.
