Complete Streets Talking Points

Fact Sheet

This factsheet provides talking points and information to use when advocating for healthier street design (also available in Spanish).

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 fact sheets on Zoning and Safe Routes to Schools are also available in English and Spanish.
