1. The PARTNER Program Process

2. PARTNER Resource Tools for Decision-making

The PARTNER Program is a innovative equity-based step-by-step process anyone can use to work with their local community to (a) identify unique walking and bicycling improvements that are specific to your local needs; (b) document concerns, needs, experience, and benefits; and (c) pursue funding to help implement these improvements..    Learn More​

3. PARTNER Actions Plans & Implementation

Once your community has decided on the walking and/or bicycling improvements they want to make, it's time to work with local leadership to pursue funding to implement that change.  See action plans communities already developed using the PARTNER Program and learn about opportunities for funding.    Learn More

No matter your community's experience with walking and cycling, our resource tools can help in this process.  Check out these resources for your community, so they can (a) learn about active travel, (b) focus attention on critical areas, (c) pick their favorite improvements, and (d) work with local leadership to turn these plans into reality.    Learn More
