Spokane
County has a significant opportunity to improve quality of life and
create a more livable community by decreasing residents’ out of pocket
costs for fuel, reducing air pollution, impacting the soaring rates of
obesity and diabetes, and planning for increased population. These
important community goals can be achieved by increasing opportunities
for active transportation – walking, bicycling, and connecting to
transit. For more information, watch this
Smart Routes video clip.
