This fact sheet, which is also available in Spanish, provides talking points and information to use when advocating for healthier street design.

Complete streets are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users. Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities must be able to safely move along and across a complete street. Please be certain to check with your local planning department regarding specifics for your jurisdiction. Additional talking points on Zoning and Safe Routes to Schools are also available in English and Spanish.

To learn more about Complete Streets, be sure to check out NPLAN's fact sheet, What Are Complete Streets?, an overview for advocates and community members on the benefits of Complete Streets policies.
