Dear Healthy Tribes partners –

We encourage you to consider this training and funding opportunity. Walking is #1 way that people are meeting their physical activity requirements in Oregon. But unsafe conditions are the most significant barrier to getting more people to be use walking for everyday trips. To that end, addressing safety and other conditions in the built environment can be a powerful tool for addressing physical inactivity a key driver of chronic disease.
