In addition to transportation funding programs, bicycle and pedestrian projects can be funded through programs focused on reducing chronic diseases and obesity, which are administered by health agencies. A report from Advocacy Advance – a partnership of the League of American Bicyclists and the Alliance for Biking and Walking – reviews recent funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and provides examples of partnerships where transportation and health have worked together.

The report is primarily meant for transportation agency staff and bicycling and walking advocates to learn about the different federal health funding opportunities, but it may also be useful to health agency staff and advocates to learn more about the connections between health and active transportation.
