Person to person connectivity through physical mobility within our built and natural environment is critical to our mental, physical, social, and economic health and growth. Without reliable, safe, convenient, and affordable mobility, we cannot effectively connect to essential resources such as housing, jobs, food, health care, education, recreation, public safety, and other critical services and infrastructure.
