This policy-oriented webinar will demonstrate the connections between an active living partnership and bicycling/walking policies and programs. Presenters will discuss a case study from Hennepin County, Minnesota, in which technical assistance provided by an umbrella group through support from Blue Cross/Blue Shield (workshops on Complete Streets and Winter Walking) helped gather diverse constituencies to catalyze pedestrian and bicycle policies and planning. Webinar participants will learn:

• How to understand and articulate the synergies between nonmotorized transportation planning and public health
• How governments, businesses and community partners can connect to develop partnerships to carry out this work
• How to create and successfully shepherd policies through approval by elected bodies.
