"Your office has helped us understand the public health implications of the work we do and has been a very effective advocate at broadening the coalitions that promote building healthy communities. You have served a key role in bridging the public health and physical activity fields with the bike, pedestrian, and trail community. You have really brought to the forefront the importance of creating communities that promote walking and biking."
