Encouragement

Walking prescriptions

In partnership with clinics, providers write a literal prescription to walk — pairing a doctor's encouragement with safe, nearby routes. It's a simple idea with real health impact, especially in rural Montana.

Pop-up traffic calming

We help communities test safer street designs before they pour concrete — temporary curb extensions, crosswalks, and bike lanes that let residents experience the difference for a day. Built in partnership with AARP and MSU's Western Transportation Institute.

Real data and resident feedback for decision-makers

Better together

We don't do this alone.

Our programs are built with partners who bring research, reach, and resources to communities statewide.
