#SaludTues Tweetchat 12/17: How to Plan for a Safer and More Active 2020

Share On Social!

Much of the disparity we see in traffic deaths and chronic disease is related to how we build roads and communities.

Improving safety on our streets, sidewalks, and public spaces can help address decades of disparities.

Let’s use #SaludTues on Dec. 17, 2019, to tweet about how you can take time at the end of 2019 to plan for a safer and more active 2020.
