Complete Streets, Complete Communities Distance Learning Series
The Complete Streets, Complete Communities distance learning series is a set of seven online modules designed for public health and transportation professionals to learn about how to influence community health outcomes through local and regional transportation policies and practices, as well as about opportunities to collaborate across both sectors. This set of modules supports the work of CDC’s Active People, Healthy Nation℠ initiative.
Each module is self-paced and self-guided. Participants can choose to complete all the units in each module, or simply the ones that interest them. These modules are free of charge and currently only available to practitioners at state and local levels interested in influencing community health outcomes through local and regional transportation policies and practices. Preference will be given to recipients of REACH, HOP, SPAN, and BRIC cooperative agreements from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity.
