Active Transportation Workgroup

The purpose of the U-Med Active Transportation Workgroup is to create opportunities for U-Med organizations to benefit from joint learning and joint action to achieve success. We've defined success as reducing the number of vehicle miles traveled in the U-Med District. A sound Active Transportation program requires good transit, shuttle, car or van pooling programs, and the ability and willingness to walk and bike—anything other than single-occupancy vehicles.
