Prescott Alternative
Transportation’s Mission :“Working towards a bicycle and
pedestrian-friendly central Yavapai community.”
Prescott Alternative Transportation's Vision:
A transportation and trails system that enriches our central Yavapai community by providing mobility for all, regardless of car ownership, age or ability. A seamless bicycle, pedestrian and public transit network invites our citizens to leave their cars at home, thereby saving money, encouraging healthy activity, and promoting energy independence.
Why are walkable/bikable communities important?
Walkable/bikeable communities channel growth in new areas to protect habitat, agricultural land and open space. They reduce dependency on the automobile and reduce infrastructure investment costs.
Walkable/bikeable communities are desirable places to live, work, learn, worship and play. They are also integral to achieving the goals of sustainable growth as they enhance mobility, reduce negative environmental consequences, strengthen economies and support stronger communities through improved social interaction.
Communities can be built so that walking/biking to destinations is a viable option; improving access to services for the residents who are too old, too young or too poor to drive.
