During the last three years, the Safe Routes to School National Partnership through the Voices for Healthy Kids Initiative has taken up the banner of equity to empower communities. The Safe Routes to School National Partnership's mission is to advance safe walking and bicycling to and from schools, and in daily life, to improve the health and well-being of America's children and to foster the creation of livable, sustainable communities. They need experts in and out of the transportation space that can articulate the concerns of priority populations all over the country. Thus they formed the National Active Transportation Diversity Task Force, a cohort of experts and practitioners from around the country who would engage in national conversations, and support outreach that elevate equitable built environments from a local issue to a state and national issue. The dynamic of having civil rights, faith, environmental, engineer, public health, disability, think tank, and elected official organizations championing active transportation improvements to increase physical activity in underserved communities made their reach extremely comprehensive.
