ActiveAllegheny is the County’s first comprehensive active transportation plan with sustainable travel choices for destinations.  The plan is a blueprint for improved access and choices to connect people to communities, work sites, transit, schools, attractions and residences.  The plan integrates non-vehicular modes of transportation, specifically walking and biking, into our transportation system to increase “livability”.  Benefits and rewards of active transportation range from: cost savings; low-cost exercise opportunities with healthier lifestyles; a more vibrant, safe community with neighbors-out-on-the-street and potential for revitalized local business districts; reductions in congestion, air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions and increases in neighborhood desirability and value. 

PEC was pleased to participate in this plan on the core committee.
