Provides step-by-step guidelines to mapping out walking routes in and around communities, schools, worksites and faith-based organizations.

A common barrier to physical activity is the lack of a safe, convenient, inexpensive place to be physically active. The Move More Walking Map Guide addresses this barrier by providing step-by-step guidelines to promote safe walking routes in and around communities, schools, worksites and faith-based organizations to encourage people to move more.

The Move More Walking Map Guide encourages the user to create routes in areas such as parking lots, neighborhoods, and around the outside or inside of large buildings. Tips for exploring other elements such as marked distances, varying lengths and destination points are also included. The guide then walks the user through the process of creating a map, directions for the route, and promotional activities that can increase awareness and use of the route.
