Countywide Activities

Active Transportation

The CalFresh Healthy Living program is guided by the Social
Ecological Model to improve the likelihood that the SNAP-Ed eligible population will increase healthy behaviors through active transportation. The program works closely with residents, stakeholders, and cities to develop and advance the adoption of active transportation policies and implement environmental changes that can help lead to these changes.
